Family Cookbook

I’m all over this idea of gifting a family cookbook. All over it. Anjali gave hers out as favors at her wedding, but I’m picturing a book full of my family’s favorite holiday recipes. Everything from main courses to cookies to the breakfast casserole we’ve eaten every Christmas morning for as long as I can remember. In fact, I think I’ll get started after the New Year of designing separate ones for both my dad’s and mom’s sides of the family. (via the kitchn)

DIY Holiday Box Advent

If I’m not mistaken this will be the first December of my life that I don’t have an advent calendar. I’m kind of bummed, but dig deep and pull through (can you tell I’ve been watching a lot of Friday Night Lights lately?). If I were making one for someone else, however, I’d be super into this graphic holiday box advent from Oh Happy Day, great colors and patterns, and of course treats!
