Each week I’m sharing seven of my very favorite 101 Days of Christmas projects from the archives.
A friend of mine posts a daily Christmas countdown starting in mid-September (clearly we were destined to be friends!), and according to today’s post, there are 95 days until Christmas—I love it!
Here are this week’s “best of” posts:
{7} Handprint, Footprint & Fingerprint Calendars
The handprint calendar was one of my favorite annual gifts for the grandparents and great-grandparents when our girls were little. We’ve gotten out of the habit as they’ve gotten older, but I can’t wait to do one with the boys in a few years!

{8} Chocolate-Hazelnut Biscotti
Biscotti is one of those things that feels really intimidating until you do it the first time. Start practicing your biscotti skills now, and share tins of your favorite flavor this Christmas for an elegant gift!

{10} Unwrap a Book Every Day
We have a thing for children’s books, and wrapping up our Christmas book collection so that we can open a book each day in December is a great way to enjoy them even more.

{12} The Best Breakfast Casserole
We love this breakfast casserole all year long, but it’s been a favorite for Christmas morning for the past few years. Prepare it the night before with the breakfast meat of your choice and pop it in the oven while you open presents!

{13} Candied Orange Peel
Candied orange peel is a fun and tasty old-fashioned candy. Serve it plain or dip the pieces in chocolate for an extra special treat!
