Am I the only one that can already hear the faint sound of “Jingle Bells” in the distance? Fall gives way to winter all too quickly every year, and before you know it you’ve barely survived Thanksgiving and the candy canes are once again making their appearance. In the snowy Midwest where I live the weather is usually the first indication that Christmas is on its way, but that doesn’t mean there’s not still some considerable panic when I flip the calendar from November to December. It’s one thing to put together gifts for your friends, family, and coworkers, but then when you remember that you’ve also got to come up with creative stocking stuffer ideas, the workload is enough to intimidate even the most forward-thinking gift-giver (and that gift-giver’s wallet!) Fortunately, I’m here to take some of the hard work off your shoulders with these DIY Christmas crafts!
