Delicious jam filled raspberry pinwheel cookies are an old fashioned Christmas tradition! Raspberry jam and walnuts are rolled up inside a rich, buttery dough. The cookie log is then sliced and baked for a delicious and pretty raspberry swirl cookie.
Russian Tea Cakes (Snowball cookies or Mexican Wedding Cake cookies) are a crumbly and buttery winter treat & a yummy Christmas cookie!

I love to use candy in our Christmas decorating. It is pretty cheap to buy, and lots of fun to craft with, especially for kids. And of course it is always nice to sample a little bit as we craft. These DIY Candy Christmas Trees are cute and easy to make!

The holiday season is approaching fast! My teenage daughter Eleanor made these thumbprint Christmas cards for a Christmas craft.
They are adorable, and only took her about half an hour to make from start to finish. Here is how she did it.
One of the projects my kids and I did during on Christmas in July celebration was to decorate Paper Mache letters. We decided to decorate the letters to spell out “NOEL”, mainly because it is short and sweet. We used 8 inch high letters and decorated them in a diagonal striped pattern with mostly muted Christmas colors.
They came out looking great, and we are thinking about doing “JOY” and “PEACE” next so we have letters for the whole fireplace mantle this Christmas.
We got our Christmas tree up with the light on over the weekend.
My family and I had great fun making these cute popcorn balls for Christmas this year. These are traditional treats, and although the process is a little messy it is worth it. You can also experiment with different flavor extracts to make each taste a little different. We made the green balls vanilla flavored and red ones peppermint flavored.
