During the christmas holiday it is a big thing for are family. Ever since i was a young child my mother always made the holidays so special decorating the house, making cookies and treats. Now, that I am older I am doing the same thing. Making the holidays bright and cheery.

25 Days of Chistmas
I am going to making it special .

25 Days of Christmas: Day 21

     Since I'm doing my 25 Days of Christmas post so close to the holidays, I thought it would be helpful for me to make a few suggestions for last minute gifts. And not only can you get them together last minute, many people already have a lot of these items at home.
     Obviously I can't promise that you have these things, but I know I keep a lot of these things around, so you might too.

Brown Sugar Scrub
This makes a great gift for the girls and ladies in your life that need a little pampering. Sugar scrubs leave your skin feeling soft and smooth.
Items needed: brown sugar, some kind of oil and optional vanilla extract

Homemade Bath Salts
Along the same lines as the sugar scrub, a lovely bath salt blend can work on sore muscles.
Items needed: Epsom salt, kosher or sea salt, optional scents and colors.

Personalized Mugs
This one is super easy and be a gift for anyone old enough to handle a glass mug! Fill it with a small bag of coffee or homemade hot chocolate.
Items needed: White cup, sharpie marker

Homemade Playdough
This one's for the kids. I don't what kid doesn't like playing with playdough! if you have a few cookie cutters to spare, add them in and make it a kit. ;-)
Items needed: flour, oil, salt, water, cream of tartar, food coloring

     I know these may not hit everybody on the list, but these are just a few ideas for when you need to get something together real quick. Homemade goodies are also a big hit, especially for the guys, and Sonya, our host has a great post on mixes in a jar on her blog, Parga's Junkyard.

     And now for today's awesome giveaway. It is a set of Nielson-Massey vanilla flavorings and cookbook. I love baking, so I use lots of vanilla. You can read a review of these here. Then you can enter using the rafflecopter form below@ Good luck!

Stringing popcorn and cranberries for our Christmas tree has been a tradition my entire life. We have done it to bring the family closer and to save money in decorating. However, when I looked at other people's idea of how to string these garlands, I learned that my family does it a little differently than others. Check out my post on what we do differently and how you too can decorate inexpensively with an old fashioned flair.

Christmas Trees: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly & the HUH?

The Christmas Tree is probably the most iconic image of Christmas. Every year millions of people all in the United States, Europe, Australia, and other parts of the world either dig out that dusty old faux tree, cut down a fresh one, and sometimes even invent their own! I remember my Grandma Ann did a different theme every year...one year she just had 2 columns of faux white pine leaves with all pink tinsel and ornaments. Throughout the years she had many different themes, some good and some outlandish...but always full of Christmas cheer. I scoured the Internet to bring you some of the best in show, worst in show, and everything in between...of Christmas trees. Get inspired or see what not to do! Read the whole post here.
