Stuffing Your Stockings

Stuffing your stockings doesn't have to be difficult nor does it have to break the bank. I love Marta's ideas for stuffing your stocking at the grocery store. 20 quick & easy things... as she says " sometimes it's the really cheap frills that create a smile." So use THIS list as a jumping off point, & the next time your at the grocery store keep your eyes peeled, your bound to come across a few fun little items.

Frosty the Snowman

Super quick, super easy, super yummy holiday snacks... Oreo cookie snowmen. The best part (other than eating the extra Oreos?) You don't even have to chocolate dip the cookies yourself, I told you it was easy. Directions can be found HERE.

Letters to Santa

My kids are still little, but they are finally realizing what & who "Santa" really is. So, we decided that this was the year we needed to start writing the traditional "Letter to Santa". & thanks to the cities of Laguna Niguel & San Juan Capistrano, Santa will actually write back! For more information go HERE & HERE.

Laguna Niguel will "forward letters to the North Pole for a response from Santa" until Monday, December 8th. Please send your letters to: Santa Claus, 29751 Crown Valley Pkwy., Laguna Niguel 92677.

San Juan Capistrano will be collecting letters until Friday, December 19th. Please send letters to: Santa Claus, c/o Community Services Department, 25925 Camino Avion, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675.

So write out those lists, send your letters, but don't forget to include a self-addressed, stamped envelope so Santa can write you back.
