I don’t know about you, but when Christmas season rolls around I’m like a little kid in a candy shop! I love everything about it- from pastries to Christmas trees, if it has something to do with Jolly Ol’ Saint Nick you know I’ll dig it! 

So, whats on my cruelty-free-Christmas-‘To-do’ list this year? 

• I like to feed my festive spirits a box full of deliciously decorated short bread cookies!! I’m talking, ultimate-melt-in-your-mouth-buttery bites of Heaven! Check out this basic recipe to master your cookie skills! (Also, to make to-die-for sugar cookies, opt for white sugar instead of confectioners, and wa-la! Although I have to tell you.. I didn’t learn that tip on purpose!)
• Next on my list: Did you say decorations? Nothing says Christmas more than a cozy home full of Christmas spirit! A tree full of decorations, warm lights, and a couple of snowman ornaments will do the trick. Or, you can set your imagination loose with these fun and original Christmas decorations! 
• Christmas Caroling may be for the musically gifted, but hey, nobody said I had to sound good in my home! I love to glide through the holiday season with a couple of good wintery tunes- preferably the oldies! From Bing Crosby to Michael Buble, you name it, it’s probably playing in my house from November to December! (Okay, okay.. January)
• And of course, no winter season is complete without a bit of snowman building, snow fort sculpting, big ol’ face-full-of-snow-ball fighting! So get your groove on (aka: your snowpants) and get rollin’ in the snow. ( Hey if it can’t be dough’…) 
• Chilly from your flash-frozen escapades? I love to snuggle on my couch with a cup of warm hot chocolate, a swirl of candy-cane, and the perfect touch of cinnamon to warm up my frozen fingers! 
• Last but not least, I set my Christmas mood with all of those I love! Nothing gets me in the spirit better than having a good laugh with my family and friends! :) 

Merry Christmas season everyone!! <3
