Well it’s officially December and that means Santa is
coming! It was only appropriate to
spotlight ALL things Santa this week! If
you have seen my earlier blogs, I’m partial to traditions. One of the traditions we started several
years ago was honoring St. Nick* on the Eve of Dec. 5th. The kids place their shoes by the chimney before
they go to bed and they wake up with their shoes filled with
candy by St. Nick. What kid wouldn’t love waking up
to candy?
As an only child, my holidays were spent with all of my
cousins. Now that we live so far a part
and we have sooo many kids between us, it’s more difficult to see each
other. In order to feel a part of their
lives, I shipped Chocolate Chip cookies to my Godchild and her siblings this
week to partake in the St. Nick celebration.
The package is “supposed” to arrive in Oklahoma in time to place by the chimney
on Wednesday night so that the kiddos can wake up to their candy filled shoes
and have home made chocolate chip cookies too.
(Nothing like a sugar high to start the day…) If baking isn’t fun enough…I got a little
creative with a recycling project. I
wrapped a Pringles can in a Santa suit* made out of construction paper and
added a little fur up top. Then I filled
Santa with chocolate chip cookies and voila.
I’m not going to lie…I loved this!
A new Santa design popped into our holiday line this
year. We were asked to design the
invitations* for our neighborhood Christmas party and the request was
Santa! I think it's precious and it easily
transferred to gift labels* and enclosure cards*. The brownie Santa hats* will make an
appearance to this party. I made them
last week for our tennis party and there wasn’t one left. Anyone that bakes could assemble within 10
minutes.
As the saying goes, “When you stop believing in Santa, you
get underwear!” Ho, Ho, Ho everyone….
