Holiday time! Santa Claus Christmas Ideas/inspiration

We just talked to my stepson and he is soooo excited to be coming next week! He is 8 and still believes in Santa - should make Christmas extra fun!

Here are a few ways to add Santa into your party!

Great invite or party favor (or to just give on gifts) - Santa hot cocoa holder! You could leave off the handle and just use it for a gift card too! Source

I think we might actually do this for our party! Santa and reindeer elements for a photo op station! I LOVE IT! Source

Santa hat cake pops rock... Source and tutorial

One of my favorite Santa cupcakes! it just makes me giggle! Source

Santa!

Ugh! A 2 weeks of sinus infection and finals in my Master's program - finally ready to join back in for the rush of Christmas! Below are some Santa (or at least parts of Santa lol) ideas I hope you enjoy...

Bakerella does it again! These cupcakes are sure to make anyone smile!

This Santa suit bag would be a fantastic favor bag or alternative to a stocking.  Even if you don't have many crafting tools you could still pull this one off! Source: brenda62052.blogspot.com

 This is an even easier crafting project - a Santa suit candy bar (or anything that shape) cover.  What a quick way to make a simple offering look festive with just a few simple steps! Source:  amuseartstamps.com

More snowmen!

Though it's warmer today, a winter cold is setting into my throat and chest, ugh! But one of the best parts of winter, I think, is snowmen! I can't get enough, so I am sure you will see them on the blog as often as I can find ones to share.  Here are a few edible ones, though not donuts like yesterday (YUM!), still just as cute and sweet! 

These adorable snowmen and snowflakes are just piped on white fudge covered oreos! These are posted by the decorated cookie - for those that haven't been over to that site, GOOOOOO! She's amazing and give step-by-step instructions which are fantastic.  Takes all the anxiety over starting up something so beautiful!

This one cracks me up every time I see it (a lot of you have put this out on your blogs too!).  Super easy as well, but what a wow factor! Again by decorated cookie

Ok, this one has more than just snowmen, but no less fantastic! I found this on a Spanish website (colorparty.blogspot.com), so I hope I give the right credit because I can't read much Spanish ;o)  Though I love the snowman here, I have to say I am loving the reindeer and Santa the best! Oh how much fondant I will need to make this year!
