It's that time of year! I have filled my home with wondrous woodsy candles from Anthropologie, sprigs picked from a cotton field in Alabama, and red velvet bows. I'm slowly introducing winter decorations and Christmas baked treats. Each Monday morning, I'll be sharing with you a new creation I've made for the Christmas season. If only my time allowed for my aspirations, as I've seen oh-so-many crafts and goodies I'm dying to create.One delightful aspect of Christmas from my childhood was the ANTICIPATION! Who am I kidding, to this day I adore surprises and anticipation, I just do not readily admit it. I'd make a paper chain every year. One of the designers at the publishing house where I work designed this cute reindeer chain. Perfect for me, right?! I cannot tell you how many dozens of tiny antlers I have cut out. 34 sleeps til Christmas!
I spent last night whipping up an absolutely
delicious cranberry relish. I plan to take it to my boyfriend's family for Thanksgiving in a few days, and make another batch for Christmas gifts. Though it sounds wonderful to pair with turkey (potentially with tofurkey but honestly I never get one), Hannah has many other great suggestions for it if you visit
Nothing But Delicious for the recipe.
Are you making any decorations for Christmas? Do you carry on traditions from your childhood?

what a fun idea! sadly, very few Christmas decorations make it into my teeny apartment. i need to be more creative with my decor I suppose.
If you make little things for free or cheap, you won't feel bad about throwing them away in January when you can't store them. Like snowflakes cut from thrift store books!
Snowflakes cut from thrift store books. What a grand idea!
