It’s a busy pre-holiday weekend and I’m still not finished with Christmas shopping so I’m just going to post a few  Christmas links I found last week while also procrastinating on addressing our cards (which I finally mailed Thursday).

I’m making these brownie bites with a hidden candy cane Hershey’s Kiss surprise in the middle for Miss A’s daycare Christmas party Monday (via Picky Palate) if I don’t eat all the Hershey’s Kisses before then.

I never got around to doing this, but I love this literary Advent calendar idea, which would be pretty darn easy to make, even for a non-crafty slacker mama like me (via Jolly Mom).

I attended a local blogger event sponsored by Glade at the Frothy Monkey several weeks ago courtesy of my friend Amy Allen Clark from Mom Advice. I’ve been drinking Amy’s delicious Homemade Vanilla Chai Tea Mix since we made it that night. It’s yum!

Miss A’s daycare class made magical reindeer food last week (recipe via The Idea Room.)

I think these Christmas tree ice cream cones look like fun (via The Frugal Girls.)

I’ve got two giveaways posted at my review blog. One is for two one-year- memberships to Ojolie, a website that features beautiful, artistic e-cards. The other is for 10 bottles of BabyGanics’ fragrance and alcohol free hand sanitizer called the Germinator...I know I am using hand sanitizer like a mofo these days!

And apropos of nothing holiday related at all, I give you the subservient chicken (my 7-year-old got a kick out of this so just file this one away for one of those “OMGcabinfever” holiday school break days.) You’re welcome.

Have a great weekend!
