I always dress our table for Christmas morning, but I also don't like a LOT of fuss and bother on the table or the plates as people never know what to do with all that stuff. I began with the cloth napkins I wanted to use, these old, gray chambray ones, somefrom a sturdy bush beside my house, and some jute twine from the party drawer. She shared that if you place a paper napkin into the cloth one before folding, people can use the paper and set the cloth aside! Not only is this great because you can set awith the cloth... but the paper is practical and puts people at ease... especially those wearing Christmas Red lipstick.
And I'm ready, so if I feel like that, how must those of you still shopping or waiting on gifts, or plans feel? Do you know that I word searched "simple hot cocoa bar" in Pinterest and came up with thousands of matches... and guess how many were actually "simple" in my book? I know simple is a relative term, but I just feel like the world is out of control with the "more is better" mentality. Jars and jars and jars of things... things on stands and things on platters and in baskets and stacked and on shelves and overflowing and making my eyes hurt.
Nothing new... just old items, used in new ways, which is always my favorite and most inspiring way to live. Today (on a wild hair) I woke up, got my son off, tucked my sick daughter back into bed and promptly rearranged our entirebefore starting my ACTUAL (and crazy busy) day. This little cabinet got moved here, but it's empty, except for my letterboard letters. Now that he is working for a new financial company where he meets with teachers and school staff week after week, he never uses this in the daytime.
It may seem fussy with having to bake the loaves, then freeze, then slice, then bake again, but girl, Today, I am just popping in to share the link for this amazing little crisp bread recipe for those of you, looking for a low-carb, crackery-crunch this holiday season. (I had to swap out unsweetened dried white raisins for the unsweetened dried cranberries in my version, as I couldn't find the unsweet cranberries before making this.) I'm making this recipe for all my upcoming holiday cheese trays.
