Last Minute Christmas

I've been reading blogs for the last two weeks about "last-minute Christmas" and I laugh. Last-minute Christmas does not kick in until TODAY. If you're like me, you're still putting the finishing touches on a few little gifts and you're still wrapping a few, and you're finally thinking about what you will cook or bake for Christmas day with your little family.

Here are just a few ideas if you're stuck (and some things for me to remember for next year):



Last minute gifts....magnets....any pretty paper or photo could go behind a glass slide or a glass marble--courtesy of not-martha.

Simple embellishments for kraft paper gift wrap from Hege Greenall-Scholtz.

Felt gift bows from Prudent Baby.

After the last-minute scrambling today, we're dressing the Sprout up in her Christmas duds, taking her to the Christmas Eve service at church and then to a friend's house for a small celebration. Tomorrow we'll open gifts, have a nice brunch and Skype with our family scattered across the country.

I'm wishing you a Christmas filled with moments of joy that remind you that you are loved (for after all, that is the real meaning of Christmas).
