I liked the lollipops I did for the kid’s stockings so much that we gave them as treats to some friends as well. If I remember later this week I will try to put up a template for the flag!

Surprisingly, Santa has gotten the kid’s stocking stuffers put together early this year! Our 2 and 4 year old make sure that presents are always even- so there is just a little variation from his and hers.

Santa doesn’t like to spend much on stocking stuffers, this year the treats include: chocolate Santas from Publix, old fashioned lollipops, jump ropes from the dollar store, stickers and paper from Target, tubes full of small figurines, bubbles, tiny markers from Pier One, bouncy balls and a kitty measuring tape and lion ornament from Ten Thousand Things.

We’ve gotten our teacher and babysitter gifts out for the holidays. Our first round were freezer-paper stenciled heart bags (with a contribution to the class group gift). The second group received Target gift cards. What is your favorite thing to give beloved kid-caretakers?

Gen and Benjamin throw the best holiday party (of my year)- they go all out with the decorations, in a style unique to them. I had a great time- certainly helped by the fact that I was parked next to the serve-yourself-vodka-cranberry-drinks. Everybody dresses in their holiday finest and the night is capped off with a white elephant gift exchange.

Don’t you love the cardboard Rudolph? I think that was my favorite touch. More on Gen’s blog.

I’m officially done decorating the house for Christmas 2011! I’ve been wanting to try out an idea I had for a cotton ball garland, above. It took longer than I thought, and there are definitely some revisions I would make if I did it again, but I think it’s pretty cute.

We had so much fun driving around tonight singing holiday songs, looking at the lights- and even had a successful trip to see Santa Claus. I hope you’re loving this season as much as we are this year!
