Christmas is coming! Do you have plans to cook and bake? Will you be entertaining or having out of town guests coming for a visit? Let me help you get your kitchen prepared for Christmas.
Go through your pots and pans:
Take a look at all of your pots and pans. If any are rusting, discard them and buy new.
Check the plates:
Do you have enough plates for all of your guests? If not, buy paper or plastic Christmas plates. They are less expensive than buying new glass dishes and it looks like you are very festive for the season! No one will ever know the real reason you have them!
Baking pans:
If you know you will be baking several hundreds of cookies for a party or just to have for the season, be sure you have enough cookie sheets. I would say you should have 2-4 cookie sheets on hand at all times. Other kitchen items to have for baking would be:
Jellyroll pans
Wooden spoons
Aluminum foil
Wax paper
Measuring cups, wet and dry
Mixing bowls
A mixer
Airtight containers

There some basic ingredients you might want to keep in your pantry for baking:
Flour
Sugar (white and brown)

Food for company:
