Sprinkles of Holiday Cheer
Like the sprinkles on top of Christmas cookies, this year I decided to sprinkle just a touch of the holidays here and there around the house. I won't be doing any holiday entertaining, so I brought out a few things that I enjoy and to remind me of the season. I also chose items that were easy to access and just as easy to put away.
There was a little bit of baking done in my kitchen which I will share with friends and family, as well as my sibling's favorite "giant cheese ball."
A recent decor video on YouTube reminded me that when it comes to holiday decorating, especially Christmas, you don't have to go to the store and buy a bunch of decorations for the house. She encouraged her viewers to use items that they already have or items they purchased while thrifting - basically items that can be used all year round. Some ideas? A grouping of brass candlestick holders, solid red or green, or even red plaid or striped kitchen towels instead of those with trendy Christmas prints. Stack old books with solid red or green covers no matter the title. I like these simple, but classic and clever ideas.
Here's a little bit of holiday cheer around my home.
May you all find a bit of holiday cheer around your own home. Merry Christmas.
