I just made oatmeal raisin cookies and used the oatmeal that was already in the?

cupboard. I think I used this oatmeal last when I made cookies for Thanksgiving, which would have been 8 months ago. I looked on the bottom of the container for the expiration date and it said good until 2011 sometime. Now I am wondering if the oatmeal was any good. I thought about just dumping this oatmeal and buying a new one, but I just decided to use it. Do you think this oatmeal was ok, or is it possible that it would be bad now?

do you have any Christmas eve, and Chrismas day traditions?

for me… Christmas Eve – finish wrapping remaining presents while listening to christmas carols and drinking hot chocolate. eat a nice dinner with my sister, my brother, my mother and my mothers bf, then church service, home, read christmas books to my siblings, lay out cookies for santa and scatter oatmeal and carrots out on the lawn for the reindeer, lay stockings out for santa, and when the littles are in bed, me and my mother discuss how lovely the year has been while drinking lots of hot chocolate. (maybe go down to be an elf and pass out presents to the less fortunate )
CHRISTMAS – open santa presents. finish preparing food, family comes over, then great big lunch, open lots of presents and chat the rest of the day. what do you do??????
