I do hope your tinsel is not in a tangle and you are enjoying the festive messy merriment of the season! My house is still in somewhat of a jumble, but I am embracing the fun and letting go of the concept of perfection…
Today I want to share some of my favorite things to do for the holidays in hopes of giving you last minute ideas or even just a smile!
Paint a jar for gifting goodies
Charlie Brown Christmas Tree Jar
Make a festive beverage tub by lining a galvanized tub with a trash bag and then wrapping it in a colorful fabric, and secure it with a ribbon
Give your friends Christmas in a Stocking by filling a stocking with holiday decorations and goodies
Or fill a stocking with a recipe and the ingredients for dinner, Dinner in a Stocking!
Everything you need to make Loaded Slow Cooker Pumpkin Chili {except the meat}, to put together an easy meal
Set up a Merry Mimosa Bar 🍾 🥂

so many wonderful ideas! and i found myself getting lost for a half hour here looking at all the other links to bloggers! thanks for sharing 🙂
the tablescape hop starts tomorrow and should be fantastic, thanks Jodi 🙂
Tiny lights everywhere is my motto too! You have some great ideas there besides that too, Jenna.
thanks Rita!
Everything here is pretty and cheerful and I love that! My lovely “prize” from your drawing arrived. Unless I am using it (which I will) it is hanging on the door knob where it has already received many compliments! Thank you!
Wow – so festive!! I LOVE the idea of a “Sweet Shop” – I just need to figure out where to set it up -ughhh…the “littles” would love it, so I will figure out something – thx for the great idea!
have fun!
So fun and festive!! I love all of the wonderful ideas.
I also really love the twinkle lights. ❤️
I love the snowman in the bathtub…very clever.
the littles love Frosty!
Yes, love lights! On the tree, the mantle, my dresser, the top of the antique phonograph, never can have too many! I am still puttering inside, have never been this behind in my decorating, but like you trying not to let it get to me and taking it in stride. Looking forward to getting my gift in the mail Miss Jeena, still so pleased that my name was picked. Thanks again. 🎄
It should be arriving soon, I mailed it last Monday…let me know when you get it, tracking says it’s still in transit…sorry it’s taking so long! Lights on your dresser sounds so pretty!!
No worries, probably slow due to holiday packages and extra mail, Christmas cards, etc. Ha did I say Christmas cards? I still have to get out the small amount I send out! Whew, I better get crackin’! Sorry about your name being misspelled above. That auto-correct drives me crazy! Thanks Jenna. 😄
yes, not a fan of auto correct! I still have mountains of things to do 🤪
Oh My Goodness YOU are so CREATIVE! The Candyland Tree is amazing! BUT Frosty Fishing in the Tub! IS INCREDIBLE!
ha ha, yes Frosty arrives in the bathtub every year! Thank you Nancy!
I am loving this, it’s giving me the push and inspiration I need to finish my holiday decorating. I am seriously loving the tub! That is super cute.
oh good! Thank you Christine!
Hi Jenna, this was such a nice Christmas time post with a lot of great ideas. I really love that winter moon painting you made. Thanks for sharing at Cooking and Crafting with J & J. Have a great week.

Thank you Julie!
Oh Jenna, you have shared some wonderful ideas to get us in the Christmas spirit! Your candy tree is adorable, and I love the idea of dinner in a stocking. That would be a perfect gift for anyone. Thanks for all the terrific ideas! Enjoy your day, sweet friend!!!
Oh thank you Shannon!
I love all your holiday fun and Christmas cheer Jenna! I need a bottomless glass for a Mimosa bar for the month of December! 😉
😂
So many favorite things! The last couple of years I have been very minimalist choosing to bring out just a few of my favorite things. Each year they are a little different.
Hi Jenna, I like your idea of dinner in a stocking, what a great idea to help a friend in December! ❤️ And I love all your creative decorations… ❄️☃️🌟
Thank you Jill, the stocking dinner is so easy for the giver and so appreciated by the receiver!
The candy cane tree and sparkle bottle are awesome ideas! Your Christmas decor looks amazing. Thank you for sharing on Merry Monday! We hope you will join us again next week!
