Have you started decorating for Christmas yet? We have officially started: Hubby insisted the tree come out the day after Thanksgiving, ‘cause… well… that is just how things are done, LOL! We have a pre-lit tree and most of the “pre-lit” part about it has finally bit the dust. He is in the process of removing all the lights and we will purchasing a whole new set of lights for the tree. {So yes, our tree is up, but BARE! LOL!}
We will be jumping full swing into holiday decorating any moment now, so I was checking out some holiday decorating online and found Celebrations.com – they have some great tips, especially for a holiday party (but those tips can be applied even without having a party). One tip I like (suggested as a last minute décor idea when guests are on the way) is to wrap several gifts and use as a centerpiece.
I found a recipe on their site for Reindeer Munch, a combination of Crispix cereal, chocolate or butterscotch chips, peanut butter, and powdered sugar – YUM! This will be a great, fun snack for my son!
How cute is this Santa Suit Shoebox? This would be perfect for smaller gifts and for the littlest ones who haven’t yet got down pat the concept of unwrapping gifts. They would also be great for gifting baked goods. It is a Do-It-Yourself craft project, perfect for the economic crunch right now.
There are tons more ideas on Celebrations.com if you are still looking for ideas for holiday decorating, parties, or just some DIY gift / craft ideas.
What are you working on for the holidays? Crafts? Homemade gifts? I have a two-year-old and would love some ideas for him, too. 
Thank you for visiting the original Shake The Salt!!
