Homemade Made Christmas Gifts – Gifts in a Jar

Author: Admin | Filed under: Christmas, Christmas Fun, Christmas Gifts, Christmas Recipes Sunday Dec 5,2010

Well, it’s that time of year again, Christmas, a time of joy and a time of giving. Christmas gifts can be a chore or a pleasure and I have always chosen to make them a pleasure. One of the best and easiest ways to do this is to make gifts. I have always found that most people really enjoy receiving gifts that are homemade because along with the gift comes the love and caring that was put into it.

My favorite thing to do is to make up Christmas Gift baskets. Friends and family have actually come to look forward to my baskets every year to see what goodies I put together. There’s little more rewarding than to pass out the gift baskets and watch people go through them sharing their gifts and showing off what I tucked inside.

One gift I always include is gift jars. There are so many ideas and they are so easy to make. You can make anything from cakes and cookies to drinks and creamers in jars. Here’s a few great gift jar recipes that you can try and share this year and a few ideas to make them even more special!

AMARETTO COFFEE CREAMER

3/4 cup non-dairy coffee creamer
1 tsp. almond extract
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
3/4 cup confectioners sugar

Combine all ingredients in a container with a tight fitting lid. Shake well to blend. Store in airtight container and give creamer with the recipe for Amaretto Coffee. Yields 12 servings.

Attach to the jar: Amaretto Coffee: In a mug, combine 2 tablespoons of creamer with 6 ounces of coffee.

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

Ah, the opening lines of Clement C. Moore's 1823 Christmas classic, "A Visit from St. Nicholas" or better known today as " 'Twas the Night Before Christmas". This poem, probably one of the most well know poems in the world today, brings to mind endless traditions and dreams and memories, Santa and snow, reindeer and gifts, and the joys of Christmas past and present.

Christmas day may only come but once a year but the memories and the traditions you create during that special holiday season will live on for years to come!
