Spreading a Little Christmas Cheer

Yesterday I set out a basket of snacks outside our front door. I cannot take credit for this idea, and I can't even remember where I first saw it, but it's an idea that is meant to be shared. Have a happy day everyone!

And because we are all so busy, I've also included some decorating ideas that cost NOTHING due to a little foraging inside and outside.

This year Christmas is all about grabbing my clippers and foraging -- in the woods behind our house, in my parents' back yard, at a secret location in town. Easy, beautiful, and free.
