This year I am doing as many homemade Christmas gifts I can do.

First off, it is a lot of fun,

Second it helps reduce money spent on Christmas

and Third… it is a gift truely from the heart.

I wanted to walk you through the steps I did, in case you would like to make some for your family and friends.

First off, I purchased 2 yards of fleece material.

I cut long and wide pieces of material. I picked how wide I wanted the scarves, but it is ultimately up to you the way you want to present your own scarves. I cut mine 27 inches wide.

After I got all the material cut that I wanted, I cut little fringes in each end piece of the material.

I kept the fringes at a 1/2 inch each. After you cut all the fringes, you will knot each fringe. You can add embellishments to each fringe if you would like before you tie the knot. I chose not too.

Just continue to knot each fringe until they are all complete.

Then you are finished and ready to wear your scarf. Here is my beautiful daughter and I sporting our new scarves :).

I just know my Aunts and Grandma will love this as I am making then no sew fleece blankets as well. Great gift for this beautiful winter Christmas season.

Are you making any homemade gifts this year? Please share.

This is a really yummy main course meal that the whole family will enjoy!

We had a great night curled up on the couch watching Santa Claus Is Coming to Town night. Hubbs, M, L and I were all crunched together on the love seat together. Such a precious time and I just want to take every minute of it in.

We made our stop to see Santa. L only wanted to talk to Santa and would not have anything to do with sitting on his lap ;). M on the other hand was so excited to sit on his lap. She jumped right up there and told him what she wanted. I said what did you tell him you wanted, It’s a secret mom ;). Oh boy! Do you think Santa will tell this mommy what she wanted??? I guess we’ll have to see.

I love to see the sparkle in their eye when they see Christmas decorations. It is like magic! Hubbs has been out of work since September on medical leave so this year has been hard trying to come up with the money for Christmas, but we will be celebrating as family together and doing small things to keep this wonderful Christmas alive. For example, doing fun Christmas crafts, reading Christmas stories, doing the Christmas Advent calendars before bed each night, singing Christmas songs as loud as we can, making homemade Christmas gifts together and best of all remembering the real reason of the season. JESUS!!! I SO LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR.
