My two easiest, quickest, festive Christmas ideas…..

My two easiest, quickest Christmas ideas…..

 

Christmas can become too much hustle and bustle.  I try to keep the day as simple as possible and am on the lookout for easy things to try.

 My first idea is a simple centerpiece.  All you need is a glass bowl, a bag of cranberries and a few floating candles.  You fill the bowl halfway with water, pour in enough cranberries to make a layer on top and then float the candles.  It looks really festive and is totally easy.

 My second idea is an appetizer my mother-in-law used to make.  Here is what you need:  a package of cream cheese, a box of wheat thins and a jar of either red pepper jelly (which is red in color) or jalapeño jelly (which is green in color).  All you do is put the cream cheese on a nice plate; spread the jelly over the top of it and surround it with Wheat Thins (or the cracker of your choice).  It is simple and really delicious and can be either red or green depending on the jelly you purchase.  (Do realize if you use the jalapeño, it will have a bit of a bite to it.)

 If you have a totally simple, easy Christmas idea the rest of us would be able to implement, please post it!

 May the wonder of Christmas be yours this Christmas!!

Blessings,

Thora
