Holiday Baking Extravaganza

I have always loved to bake. Ever since I was little, the oven called my name. Being away at college means that I have no access to baking. During the school year, I don't realize how much I miss it--I'm too busy with papers, tests, and the occasional social life. Now that I am home for the holidays, I am reminded about my passion. The oven and I reconnected again--for 4 hours. This isn't an unusual phenomenon, but the holidays offer a scapegoat for my constantly creating hands.
