christmas

Forget the tradition of ham for breakfast on Christmas morning. I want this cake first thing in the morning!

Merry Christmas, Cuteologists! Thanks so much for sticking with me through the site transition and embracing our new home. You get three slices of cake this year for being my favorite readers!

Do you still have a few nooks and crannies that aren't stuffed with holiday cheer in your home? The master of holiday decor, Martha Stewart has put together a step-by-step rundown of how to make pinecone elves! Get crafting!

I'd like to set sail in this baby on a sea of hot chocolate with marshmallow sharks, peppermint starfish and butterscotch whales.

Red and white do make a fantastic combo, don't they? And snowflakes are so satisfying in their symmetry and fragility. Basically, winter is magic, and the buttery, spicy delicious treats we get to indulge in without any guilt make the holidays rich. Bring on the cookies, I'm ready!

I love Muppets, I love Animal, I love the Muppets version of the "Twelve Days of Christmas," but why is Animal sitting by this cake? Christmas mysteries!

Even the most hardened hearts couldn't resist a table like this at a holiday party. I love the unconventional color scheme, pastels can still definitely be appropriate for Christmas. Amazing.

So the kid who finds the fish head on the tree Christmas morning gets extra tripe for dinner?

In Japan they don't mess around with their sweets. Even Krispy Kreme gets in on the holiday action. I wonder if the snowmen are cream filled.

Sure to brighten up your day!

There are few things more evocative of Christmas spirit than the little sad tree from the Carlie Brown Christmas Special. Putting it on a star is giving it the respect it deserves.

I've gone to the trouble of finding the cutest ornaments for you this year. They're all just a click away!

Aw, little dude, your nose is so cold! Come in for a little aquavit and a sit by the fire.

I wish I could have a full sized tree that looks like a swirl of green frosting with sprinkles. I'd just take little nibbles every day.
