Although winter is my least best season, I really love December. There is so much to do! Holiday shopping starts early with not only shopping for gifts but also clothes and kitchen items since everything seems to be on sale! Even if I don’t end up buying anything for myself or the home ultimately, I still need to browse all the catalogs diligently, do my window shopping surveying everything out there. Unless I do that I cannot relax – I feel like I may have missed a good deal! LOL! The husband always retorts ‘Did you really need that?’ when I come home with something claimng that I got it at half price! Anyways men will never understand how shopping can be so therapeutic for us women!
The other thing about december that I like is all the festive recipes that I see around me – I mean to try each one of them really – except I would need more than 24 hours in a day.! Ugh! And then finally the party invitations start pouring in making it even harder for me to try all my wish list recipes! Anyways this weekend I was determined to make these cute Strawberry Santas that my friend Lisa had recently posted on her FB page. They looked so cute and adorable that I had to absolutely make them!
I am bringing these cute santas to a party in my neighborhood plus this week I am also co-hosting Fiesta Friday at Angie from ‘The Novice Gardener’ with Jhuls from ‘the notsocreativecook’. I am so excited to be hosting with Jhuls since she is a bubbly, cheerful and simply awesome young woman and is so full of energy! Just reading her posts can make your day plus she posts some really neat recipes!.
My friend Lisa made her santas with mascarpone cheese but I used cream cheese since I did not have mascarpone at home and wanted to avoid a trip to the store.It came out great with cream cheese too.
Happy Holidays! Much love to all!
I love these! So cute! They made me smile 🙂

You are welcome Kloe! How are you dear? Wish you a happy holiday season! 🙂
I am blessed, how are you? Was your Christmas good?
Yes it was very good. thanks. And I am enjoying my days off from work. 🙂
Your little Santas made me smile…I’m sure they went instantly at the “party”.
Yes Karen indeed they did! I was not even able to get good pics since I had to rush out as soon as I made them and once at the party they were all gone too soon! 🙂
Ah, these are so cute! Winter is my favorite season, but December is especially special. I must admit that I finished my Christmas shopping in November this year, but this weekend our local bookstore was having a sale, so I stocked up for my own bookshelf. 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend!
Good for you girl! How nice to be armed with books for the holidays.! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and best wishes for a great new year! 🙂
Happy Holidays to you too Indu! These are adorable – I know my kids would love them!

They are just too cute to eat Indu! I think I have seen them on Pinterest – of course everything else is on there. Great idea, simple and they make people smile. Happy Holidays to you and your family 🙂
