Holidays in my family can be kind of crazy. With three small kids and lots of family to visit I feel like we don’t rest until January, but I honestly wouldn’t change a thing. To keep holiday celebrations special I make sure I am always prepared. I hate running out last minute for things so I am constantly making a list and checking it (twice!) I shop throughout the year for gifts and create a stockpile so I am not only ready for people I normally buy for but those just in case gifts (teachers, friends, neighbors.) The weekend after Thanksgiving all of our Christmas stuff inside and out goes up so we can focus on the holidays coming up, plus it puts us all in the mood. My boys are so excited already about Christmas and Santa, plus this is the first year I think they really understand about Santa. As far as cooking goes, I haven’t had Christmas Eve or Christmas Day at our house yet, but I usually pick out some good recipes and try a few things. My boys really aren’t into crafts unfortunately but hopefully my baby girl will be in a few years because I personally love crafts.
Oh but this year in lieu of the cookies I normally make I will be making Cake Pops, red and green flavored. Here is a quick recipe I used to make some for my son’s birthday – I will be changing it up and using red and green food coloring in the frosting:
