5 Tips for a Stress Free Christmas

Is the idea of Christmas stressing you out?...well, here are a few tips to help you have a stress free time:

1. Think ahead

Know how many days you have left and plan different tasks to do each day, so that it's not a last minute panic.

2. Ask people what they want

Don't waste hours thinking of what to buy people, it's easier just to ask!

3. Shopping Online

Shopping from home avoids the crazy Christmas crowds and can save money at the same time.

4. Don't look for perfection

Nothing ever will be perfect so just relax and enjoy the Christmas spirit.

5. Make it fun

You can have so much fun making your own tree decorations, baking and watching Christmas movies.

This is what our Christmas Tree looks like this year

Easy Decorations for Gingerbread

Oh hey there, I hope you're enjoying Blogmas so far! The other day I baked some gingerbread and decided to finish them off today by decorating them in three easy and fast ways.

You will need:

Gingerbread (homemade or bought)

To make a small batch of icing you will need:

1 large egg white

230g of icing sugar

1tsp lemon juice

food colouring (various)

Suggested decorations:

Smarties, chocolate drops and sprinkles

Biscuit Frosting

1. Beat together the egg white, the lemon juice and the icing sugar until the frosting is stiff (like meringue).

2. Then place the icing into a zip lock bag and push the mixture to one corner. Snip a very small triangle off the bag.

3. Next pipe a border around the outside edges of the biscuit.

4. Let it dry

Here are the three designs:
