My gang loves to make homemade Christmas candy to give to family and friends. We turn the dining room table into candyland for a few hours as everyone works together to assemble our treats.

Our favorites to make are homemade butterfingers, candy cane pretzels, and white chocolate peppermint popcorn. I will try to get some pictures added soon, but here are the instructions in a nutshell.

If these don’t appeal to you, there are 24 more delicious candy recipes below, with pictures! This post contains affiliate links. [Read more…]

Several years ago my sister-in-law started a fun tradition of making Christmas ornaments with the kids after Thanksgiving dinner. She would choose 2 or 3 crafts and have everything prepped for the younger ones.

I love pulling those handmade ornaments out each year and remembering fun times with family. 

I’ve rounded up a whole page of Christmas ornaments that kids can make. Have fun making memories!

I am a bit of a planner junkie. I just love to print out themed lists and pages for each season. Even though I will probably never have my act fully together, I can at least pretend I do on paper.

These FREE printable Christmas planners are a great way to take all of those jumbled up holiday plans out of your head and put them into action. They also make great gifts.

Don’t forget to print out a wish list for the kids! [Read more…]
