Christmas Towel: May the “Absorbing” Spirit of Christmas “Blot” Out Your Troubles, “Soak” Up Your Sorrows. And “Wipe” Away Your Difficulties. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Candle

Here’s an early Christmas greeting
For your family to share
Let it brighten up your season
And spread gladness thru the air.

You can start a new tradition
Every night till Christmas day
To burn the Christmas candle
While the family doth play.

You can bake, draw, or read stories
Sing songs or just play games
And by the season finish
Only memories remain.

It is hoped that you‘ll enjoy
A special season full of fun.
And that love will burn more brightly
When your holiday is gone.

2 liter of Sprite: “May your holiday be merry and “sprite!”

Whoppers: Hope you have a “WHOPPER” of a Christmas!


Measuring cup with candy or Cup of Soup

A Cup of Christmas Cheer
No one can measure up to you
But we’re doing our best to try,
We appreciate all the kindness you show

A kind of caring you just can’t buy.
This Christmas gift is sent your way
To wish a full measure of holiday cheer,
May your cup overflow with joy and peace,

Bubble bath

When the rushing of Christmas gets you down
And you’ve had all the fun you can stand
Don’t get discouraged and don’t give up
Just let this present give you a hand…

Take a break from the kids and shopping
Let the phone ring…don’t answer the door
Lay back and relax in a hot bubble bath
And you’ll soon feel ready for more!!

Hot pads stitched together into a cone and fill with candy:

Eat My Treats
And Cut My Stitches
Then Use Me When You
Hold HOT Dishes

Mint candy:

Some friends come
And some friends go
But true friends stay
For life you know,So in my heart

You’ll always be
Your friendship’s worth
A MINT to me!!

Nuts: I’D HAVE TO BE NUTS TO MISS THE CHANCE TO WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS!”

Nuts:

It’s always “NUTS” around our house
But especially during the Christmas season –
There’s so much decorating and shopping to do
And the weather is usually freezin

Although sometimes we appear half-cracked
We’re so glad to have friends like you –
So Merry Christmas from your “nutty” friends
And a very Happy New Year, too!

Wire Wisk with Hershey kisses wrapped in cellophane: “We Whisk You A Merry Kissmas!”

Oven mitt filled with spaghetti and sauce: We know how hectic the Holidays can be With all the Christmas rush and the fuss, So relax a bit—Open this MITT, and have some Spaghetti on us!!

Popcorn: WE’RE POPPING IN TO WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Jolly Ranchers: “HAVE A HOLLY, JOLLY CHRISTMAS!”

Cider

When it’s freezing outside
And the cold breezes blow
You want to stay warm
And comfy, I know.

So here’s my suggestion
To make wintertime brighter
Put up your feet
And enjoy some hot cider!!!

Hi-

I googled for ideas like this and came across your blog. . thanks for all the pictures to go with the ideas. I am going to send my readers over here. . I did put one of your pics on my blog. I gave the teachers at my daughters school candles and attached a note that said, “Thanks for lighting the path for the next generation!” I love those pun on word gifts. :)

Thanks for sharing these ideas. I will save them for the upcoming year. By the way, the orange poem/story is cut off and I’m curious to know what happened to Jake :-)
