Decorate your home this Christmas with all these wonderful ideas we share with you from creative ways to wrap gifts, ideas for all those Christmas cards, and more. Also discover some interesting Christmas  traditions of present day and past times.

Make this Christmas the best ever and give the gift of handmade. Surprise your family and friends with a beautiful quilt, kitchen set of hot pads, or even make someone special a purse. Check out our ideas.

Enjoy these family favorite recipes I have used throughout the years of Christmas Eve parties, Christmas day dinners, and hosting plenty of holiday work  parties and cookie exchanges. Our favorite time of the holiday is Christmas Eve when we enjoy a table full of delicious food and singing carols around the piano. That's our relaxing time with family & close friends.

The Christmas season brings us time in the kitchen making homemade Christmas candy. Whether for gift giving or for your next party, we've put together our favorite Christmas candy recipes, favorite fudge recipes, and packaging ideas for your handmade Christmas.
