He "Chex" his list twice!

Chex Mix & holiday tag that says:

Remember Santa Chex his list twice to see who's been naughty or nice so be good for goodness sake.

Although you cannot see the chex mix inside the bag from the picture, I used a recipe that mixed peanut butter, jam, white chocolate, and powdered sugar that coats the chex. (sounds yucky but actually is very yummy & very addicting) Then chex is covered in white powdered sugar so it looks like white snow. I encourage you to look up chex recipes. I found the recipe off another food blog but am unsure if I should post the link...but maybe you can google it!

Happy Holidays! ;-)

Xmas Napkin Holder

With red and green felt fabric, you can make cheery decorative table. It's easy because you just cut the pieces and cut slits in the middle of the green piece and red flower piece. Then taking the long piece, fold it in half and pull it through both the cut slits. If you're interested in it, I can see if I can draw up a pattern and upload it! Merry Christmas! ;-)

Peppermint

If you're in a crunch this holiday season and need something quick to give friends or neighbors, then a simple way to get your holiday treats done is to buy Ghirardelli Peppermint Bark, add some matching ribbon and tie a cute little ornament to the gift like this:

But you better hurry!...Ghirardelli's Peppermint Bark is only here for a Limited amount of time.

Reindeer Droppings

Every year for a good laugh we make friends and family reindeer droppings. We decorate a box of whoppers to look like Rudolph, add a funny poem, and then glue a tail on the back. What you may not notice is that you can cut a flap around the tail, so rather than open the box of Whoppers, the yummy treat can be retrieved from Rudolph's bottom!

Mary & Baby Christmas Ornament

Christmas is about the celebration of the birth of our savior, and what a better way to remember this holiday than by making a beautiful Christmas ornament to add to your own tree. Once you have all the materials, this ornament is simple to put together. Any picture can be used, but it has to be printed on transparency paper.

Materials:

• One or more clear Christmas ball ornaments (can be purchased online or at craft store)
• Clear Transparency paper
• ribbon for bow

First you are going to print the Mary picture on the transparency paper.

Cut a circle around the printed Mary picture so the diameter fits your glass ball.

Carefully roll your cut picture so that it is small enough to place through the opening of your glass ball.

Using pliers (or tweezers), place your rolled picture inside and situate it so that both sides of your picture properly meet the diameter of your ball.

Your picture has to be cut to the exact diameter of the inside of your glass ball in order for it to sit perfectly upright. (It may take a couple of tries.)

Once your picture is placed in the desired position, the top can be placed back on the opening of the glass ball.

A bow & decorative hook can be added  & the ornament is ready to be placed on the Christmas tree!
