Next Christmas Everything Will be Different
Every Christmas I fantasize about being a Yuletide superstar: making my own cards, baking elaborate cookies, cooking a vegetarian dinner for twenty of my closest friends, decorating so that every corner is a whimsical fairy-esque delight, and hand making thoughtful beautiful gifts that will bring a tear to the recipient’s eye.
If I were truly smart and organized I’d start my projects in January when I am a shut-in due to the weather, rather than realizing it is Christmas a day before the big event and haphazardly wrapping things with crumpled tissue paper and bits of masking tape.
Next year I will:
- have twinkly fairy lights everywhere like sfgbybay
- make snowflake ornaments and decorate with a deer painting from Domino magazine
- give adorably packaged cookies like the ones from The Small Object
- make a recycled magazine wreath like the one I saw on Happy Mundane-so adorable and what a great way to recycle my magazine habit
- make these lovely branches also from Happy Mundane
- and do pompom decor like I saw on Black Eiffel
Next year I swear it’ll be different.
