THE SWEETEST GIFT

Staying with the sweetness of Christmas...

I think this one is so nice...

I have seen the candy cane poem over the years but

I hadn't seen this one where you use several kinds of

candy to tell the story of Jesus....

...what a  wonderful gift to give to both children and adults...

... enjoy..

NEIGHBOR GIFT IDEA

You know...every one of these posts are so great

I could start all of them out with an automatic "I love this idea!"

I mean...they are just awesome...

they go to show that you don't really have to spend a lot of

money just to hand someone something for Christmas that will

make their day and put a big festive smile on their face...

this is what it's all about isn't it? Doing things that will make

someone's Christmas even a little better than the last one...

this idea is so cute...so cheap to make...and just brilliant!...
