Christmas Shares

Filed under: Food, Holidays, Homemaker, Organizing, Sharing — holly.schwendiman @ 4:17 pm

It’s that time of year again when I’m in holiday mode. I was just reviewing some of the things I’ve done and shared here as gift ideas on my site and realized the only files I’ve gotten up there are Christmas related. I guess we know how well that goal of getting files uploaded is going! I only have a few up but they’re easy and fun.

This year I’m keeping my kids busy with homemade goodies we’re working on all month long for gift bundles. I’m doing a relaxation one with homemade soap, bath salts and candles, a food one with homemade jam or syrup, dipped chocolates, toffee and gingerbread cookie trees, and a personalized/family one with personalized liquid hand soap pumps, big multi-colored crayons, books my kids write and anything else that hits our fancy this year. I’m as excited as they are to work on our craft projects this month.

I wanted to do the 12 Days of Christmas again for my sweetheart, but with last month getting lost in a time warp I just ran out of time to get it started this month. I suppose there’s still a little time but we’ll have to see how organized I can get everything else first!

I hope to find time to share some holiday traditions and memories because I love that sort of stuff! Anyone else have some great ideas or shares of what you’re doing this year?

  1. I wish I have something to share, but I don’t. Every year, I mean to do some special craft projects with the kids, but I still have not gotten around to it yet.

    It’s crazy how fast the days get away from us isn’t it? My kids are good at asking all the time though. *wink*

  2. I am so in the holiday mood as well! It had finally hit me. On Thanksgiving they started playing Christmas music, and we listened and decorated the house all weekend. But I just was not feeling it. NOW, however it is beginning to hit me. Love your ideas! Downloaded them.
    Thanks!

    I know that feeling…sometimes it just takes a little longer to really hit me too! :)
