I know the holidays can fill some with dread and terror. Long lines, having someone else take the last cream cheese danish at Starbucks ( and having it toasted so everyone can smell the rich creamy pastry deliciousness), and the angry drivers can make anyone hate the season of giving. I have tried to curb this Christmas insanity by honoring some of my favorite traditions and stocking up on winter essentials. Sometimes all it takes is some festive wrapping paper, sparkling tree lights, and a little bit of chocolate to turn my mood around:
Mini bar is all set up for impromptu house guests:
Home made truffles are chillin'
in my fridge (literally).
All of the wrapping below (plus scissors and tape!) were purchased at Dollar Tree, saved me a bunch:
This is Gracie's gingerbread house, I'm looking forward to decorating my own on Christmas day.
(Even more excited about eating it!)
How do you savor the holidays?
Yours,
Nico

Hi Nico!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't figure out how to respond to your comment in my blog (I'm sure it's user error!) - I think a red scarf would be awesome - or even a bright pink or purple :)
Have a great day dear :)

I feel like this was my least festive year ever! I was hoping to see you in a holiday sweater..so maybe I'll wait a few more days! Your tree and gifts all look great and I love the minibar set up. I am really glad the bootcut/flare jeans are returning, they're my favorite over anything else.
ReplyDeleteI love the mini bar! It's super cute and welcoming.
