Obsessive hunt for grandmother style dressing and alll things christmas

So I'm at work and (knock on wood) it's a calm day so far. But I have gotten in my head I must find the perfect dressing recipe. You know the one that your grandmother was famous for but no one wrote down? Yup that one. So far I'm finding some possibilities but nothing concrete, I can't remember her using eggs? If anyone has a suggestion for one using cornbread,biscuits, and bread with a lot of sage please let me know.

Then I got on a tangent for Christmas gifts. With the economy how it's going we need to pinch penny's as much as possible.

here are some thrifty holiday websites that would be good to check out Homemade Gift Ideas
101 Gift Ideas and More Gift Ideas and more

I guess I'll make this as this part of my project for the blog how to save money while having a great holiday. As soon as I get some of my trees up I'll also be posting photos of my house.

My husband's grandmother used to make her's with potato and savory. However, up here in the north we stuff ours into the turkey.

I've never made my own dressing. I've never been that ambitious. You'll have to let me know if you find a good one.
