Christmas is Coming!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, respect the turkey and all that jazz, but CHRISTMAS IS COMING! After Halloween, Christmas is our favorite holiday of the year. Basically, the end of the year is one big celebration in our house and that's cool in my book.

I started looking through my Pinterest boards and made a list of what projects I want to get started - I forgot how many fun ideas I found throughout the year for the holidays.

In an attempt to create a C-proof holiday this year, I'm going to make him a Felt Toddler Christmas Tree. It looks cute, its cheap, and hopefully it will distract him from taking all of the ornaments off the big tree.

Another random decoration project I'm excited about is this Ornament Window Decoration. We have the perfect window in our apartment for this and we even have a tension rod laying around. All we need to pick up is some fishing line and a box of plastic balls. I can't wait!



Here are a few holiday projects/recipes that I've done in the past and hope to do again this year. Some of these are tutorials I've done and some are simple projects recreated from Pinterest that don't really need a tutorial.

Salt Dough Ornaments
Handmade Christmas Stockings
Reversible Holiday Placemats
Iced Gingerbread Cookies
Hot Cocoa Cones
Greeting Card Bunting
Glass Glitter Ornaments

Truthfully, I'm trying really hard to keep the Christmas decorations at bay until Black Friday, but its getting really hard. What if I put a turkey on top of my tree? Does that count?
