Every year around this time I sprinkle red and green decorating sugar into the sugar bowl. I love how just a spoonful can bring holiday cheer to my morning coffee. Its a simple little tradition, but one I look forward to each Christmas season .
What a neat idea, I am going to have to try that. I know my kids would enjoy putting that into their coffee each morning. It just looks so festive and happy. When do you get out of school?
what an excellent idea. i feel free, like a kid, like i'm so excited. i must do this too. wonder if the hubby will think i've gone nuts?? but you know what... i don't care. ha. ha!! he doesn't get into the christmas spirit like i do. thank you for sharing this. so happy!! (:
Thanks everyone for the lovely comments. Its so simple yet so pretty. You can also do fall sugar with orange, yellow, and red sprinkles. Easter I do pink, yellow and purple.
Living each day in a simple way, with ideas, hopes and dreams.
