Grown-Up Christmas (Produce) List

​“Son of a nutcracker”! Christmas is less than two weeks away! How did that happen (again)?
‘Tis the season to make lists; better get down to business…
Presents to purchase and wrap (lots).
Gifts to receive (since when?).
Things to buy (fire extinguisher, ham, turkey, snacks, cookie dough, alcohol, etc.).
Things to do (bake cookies; use aforementioned fire extinguisher).
Wait. What? The family’s coming over (more alcohol!).
Lastly, my favorite list of all… the holiday music-inspired, produce-centric grocery shopping list
(you may clip and save [you’re welcome]):

From the Tailor Cut Produce family to you and yours… Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year!!!
ps. Speaking of New Year’s, I resolve not to make a list of resolutions this year. Or perhaps I’ll
just recycle last year’s. It was barely used.
