I was perusing Pinterest today, looking for some DIY homemade Christmas gifts for our Dirty Santa game that we play every year at my husband's grandma's house. We all bring a wrapped gift within the confines of the set budget, then draw names out of a hat to see who gets to pick a gift first. Then the next name drawn can either pick a gift from the gift tabel or steal the gift someone else picked. Lots of fun! Especially when you throw in the gag gifts such as a huge skull chain "wrapped" in 2x4s! So we kinda switch it up between gag gifts and normal gifts. So...back to Pinterest! I'm doing a search and come across these beauties! Christmas cookies in mason jars! I absolutely love this idea! I'm a Kentucky girl and I love my mason jars! I also wanted my gift this year to have a certain rustic look to it as I've been leaning that way in the kitchen here recently. With these mason jars, you can dress them up or dress them down, which is the look I will give them. I love antiques and rustic country, primitive decor, so that will be the look that my cookie jars will take on. Set the jar in a pretty Christmas bowl, attach a spatula and recipe card, and VOILA, I've got a thoughtful, unique, culinary gift to take to Christmas this year! I've noticed these in stores around the holidays and have always thought they were pretty to look at, but they are also pricey. This year I'll do my own! I'm so looking forward to buying the mason jars and the fabric to go on top! Not so much looking forward to googline and figuring out how to fit the recipe on a downloaded recipe card, but it will probably be better than writing it out myself, especially if I make several of them. After writing out all those Christmas cards, my hand will be ready to fall off! What traditions do you have around your house at the holidays?
See ya in the Kitchen!
