Christmas Red
We have a busy week of crafts and baking planned. Well, at least that is what I envision. Sometimes the best of intentions don't always come to fruition. I was reminded few weeks ago how much conversation transpires between mother and child when crafting, as Andrew and I glued buttons on a frame together at Charlie's Cookie with Santa event. In an effort to recapture that, I collected a few craft ideas that we could try at home. Hopefully, simple enough for the smallest hands to help, but interesting enough to keep a 9 year old engaged. I'll let you know how they go. Today gingerbread houses {pre-boxed, not homemade} and vintage nutcracker searching are on the agenda.
In the spirit of all this traditional Christmas activity, I thought I'd share a few pictures from my files and pinterest with my favorite traditional Christmas color, RED. It wouldn't be Christmas with out it in my home. We when were first married, I wanted all crimson and gold, then it was white and linen, and about 9 years, I threw it all out and returned to red and green and haven't looked back since. You can never have too much red ribbon at Christmas!!
