25 Days of Christmas CoCo Style: Day 25-Merry Christmas!

Christmas, Day 25 of 25 Days of Christmas CoCo Style and I made it without having a nervous breakdown. I don't know how you daily bloggers do it, but I have serious respect for those that do. The last day of the series and I have decided today would simply be a Merry Christmas to all of you out there. Hoping you have a wonderful day filled with happiness, family, friends and good food. 

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!

It's not too late to jazz up your home before the Christmas festivities begin. One super easy space to decorate is the mantel in your living room. So, take a look at these photos and get to work. Just think, you have a whole day to accomplish your mission.

25 Days of Christmas CoCo Style: Day 23- Unique Gifts IV

And there I was... Feeling a bit like Doogie Howser while working on blog posts and going over my "to do" list. Craft projects, gift wrapping and cookie recipes looming, when I realized there are only two shopping days left until Christmas. Not that I didn't know today is 12/23, but more so that it's almost 12/25. Where did the time go? If you're still looking for last minute gifts, you've come to the right place. The last installment of CoCo's Unique Gifts is here to help.
