Whether you use these handmade felt bags as gift bags or as favor bags for a party, they are fabulous! Not only will they hold wonderful surprises, but they are a gift themselves that the recipient can keep.&nbsp;&nbsp; They would be really pretty hanging on a Christmas tree if they were empty or filled with something very lightweight. &nbsp;&nbsp;

A lovely addition to home decor during the holidays is a set of Christmas hand towels in the guest bathroom. Or, perhaps you would rather treat yourself to a lovely set of towels. The cardinal chalet hand towels would be adorable in either restroom or even in the kitchen. They make a pleasant greeting wherever you choose to place them. The red berries and green holly are the perfect colors

Red ornaments are always among the most popular color for Christmas regardless of current decorating trends.&nbsp; The traditional Christmas red is a part of every Christmas home decor.&nbsp; Paired with white, the color combination is quite stunning. These Red Rubies and Snowdrop ornaments are beautiful! Many of us live in regions where it snows every Christmas, therefore the snowdrop name

The "Light Up the Night" plastic canvas coasters feature a very pretty design.&nbsp; They are decked out with candy canes and strings of Christmas lights.&nbsp; They may not add real light to the home, but they will surely light up each face that beholds them with a smile. Every home needs coasters to protect wood furniture and to prevent those awful rings left behind from drink glasses.&nbsp;

Lovers kissing under the mistletoe has been a part of Christmas for as long as I can remember.&nbsp; Actually, there are a lot of references in movies made before I was born to being kissed under the mistletoe, or what happens when you stand under the mistletoe in a doorway.&nbsp; If you believe the classic Christmas movies, hanging the mistletoe was actually a common tradition. Real mistletoe

Few things will melt hearts as easily as this adorable Snowman &amp; Friends Cross Stitch Kit.&nbsp; Surrounded by his friends, the snowman appears to be delightfully happy.&nbsp; Apparently, his "creators" prepared him properly to entertain guests by supplying him with birdseed, nuts, and corn, and building him right next to a holly bush. What a charming picture this snowman makes as he "treats

These Tiny Pearl Angels are such beautiful ornaments on the Christmas tree.&nbsp;&nbsp; Angels are often a large part of the Christmas decorations in many homes, including my own.&nbsp; The one thing that is always extremely important to me is the angel's face.&nbsp; I want her to have a pretty face.&nbsp; That actually makes it much harder for me to find Christmas angels that suit my tastes.&

What an adorable felt craft kit for Christmas decorating! This is definitely a break from the traditional sleigh full of toys that Santa usually drives, but it brings a lovely holiday greeting just the same.&nbsp; Perhaps, Santa decided to give the reindeer a bit of a break, or maybe he just loves trains as much as the rest of us.

Make Your Own Christmas Cards with this Christmas cross stitch kit! I save all of the Christmas cards I receive each year.&nbsp; I put them in a large manila envelope with the year written on the outside.

I always love the ornament kits that come with more than one ornament to make!&nbsp; They simply make me feel like I am getting more for my money.&nbsp; I also love the idea of having a "set" of complimentary ornaments for my tree or display.&nbsp;&nbsp; These "In the Meadow" snowman and tree ornaments are absolutely fabulous!

One of my personal favorite Christmas craft kits are the felt stocking kits.&nbsp; I love having a handmade unique stocking for each member of our family.&nbsp; Being able to personalize a Christmas stocking removes the generic appearance and gives our Christmas decor overall a more family oriented "home" feel.

Plastic Canvas is truly one of the easiest needlepoint crafts and these Four Jolly Santa Ornaments are sure to add a touch of fun to your Christmas decorations. Handmade ornaments always make excellent Christmas gifts, but it would be hard to part with these Jolly Santas. &nbsp; Perhaps, you could simply give away one of the ornaments and keep the rest to hang on your own Christmas tree.

Many of us grow up with visions of Santa somehow magically slipping down the chimney with his bag of toys slung over his shoulder on Christmas Eve.&nbsp; What is even more "interesting" is that we believe he can even do that when we don't even have a chimney on our home! Yes, this enchanting image of Santa has delighted children and adults for decades.&nbsp; I think there is always a part of
