Sweetness and Light

A simple table. Feeling the need for a slight break from all the Christmas feasting with a day or two of lighter fare, before New Year's Eve brings its own indulgences.

Handmade Holidays

Paper stars are versatile as well as beautiful holiday decorations, looking good in any size, in any colour and anywhere you care to hang them. These ones are ready made from House Doctor, but you can easily make your own—check out this YouTube tutorial to get started.

Handmade Holidays

Each Christmas I buy panettone from the local Italian deli—one of those little traditions that make the holidays so sweet. Take a virtual field trip to Italy with this Saveur article about the town of Pinerolo, where the aroma of panettone fills the air all year round. Or try baking your own, with this recipe for Classic Italian Panettone over at Food 52.

Handmade Holidays

Love this idea for low key holiday decorating—mini trees in a row. These ones are from House Doctor, but it's definitely a craft project you could do yourself.
