On Dasher, On Dancer...

My friend Lindsay brought the sweetest little gift to my house last week... "Reindeer Food"... for the kids to sprinkle on our driveway Xmas Eve.  I can't quite get the best picture of it with my camera but, I spied this cutie on Etsy...

The story goes...

Make your own... take a few out to your neighbors... spread some magical cheer.

Happy Hanukkah!

... holiday love to those lighting the first candle tonight...

{In 2004, artist Michael Levy created a menorah based on the iconic Louis Vuitton. “The worlds of haute couture and religion have a long history that too often gets ignored,” Levy said. “The papal rings, sacramental wine chalices, torah yads, and a whole assortment of robes, sashes, and head dressings have littered the landscape of Western religion for as long as it has existed. This Louis Vuitton menorah brings that intersection to the forefront.” - quote & photo by Michael Levy}

Wrap It With A Great Tag...

I'm a sucker for a great gift tag.  I actually collect them and have a storage container devoted to all kinds.  For those of you who are starting your holiday wrapping and have no time to shop for the perfect tag... look no further than the convenience of "printable gift tags" on Etsy.  A few cute ones I spied...
