It’s the last Friday before Christmas! Are you in a Christmas panic or are you chilling out in your festive Christmas sweater laughing because you finished your shopping in November. I’m pretty much a cool cucumber because we don’t actually really do many gifts for family. Just for my nephews and those were easy because, well, they’re kids! Mike and I aren’t don’t gifts this year so that’s sorted too, so I’ve just been chilling, reading things on the internets and baking. Here are some fun finds, if you’re just chilling too!
Webstuff:
- The holidays are stressful, especially for integrating your boyfriend/girlfriend into the family.
- My all time favorite Christmas song finally hit number one!
- Mike and I often spend Christmas in Japan and I admit, we’ve done the whole KFC Japanese Christmas thing.
- The memes that define the 2010s. LOLz
- I have never seen this ad but I think the fallout is hilarious.
- Why are people obsessed with tallness?
- Speaking of obsessed, who do you stan? I’m not sure I’m obsessed enough with Taylor to be considered a swiftie, but she has had a heck of a decade.
- It appears that Cats is a cat-tastrophe.
- On monoculture.
- Chrissy Teigen is making a documentary about fries!
- Competitive yoga is a thing.
- To be honest, this sounds like a dream job to me.
- I love pizza toast.
Fun things to bake and eat next week:
- These mini pull apart cinnamon buns are cute and tasty.
- If you want a zen project, making crepe after crepe will put you in a gentle meditative mood. Stack em all together with whipped cream, white chocolate, and peppermint for a showstopper peppermint bark crepe cake.
- If you love almonds and chocolate chip cookies, these marzipan chocolate chip cookies are a festive twist.
- I love macaroons even though they aren’t the most popular cookie in the box. These coconut matcha guys look like snow topped mountains – perfect for winter!
- Triple coconut french toast has to be the perfect thing to wake up to on a snowy morning.
- One egg, four different kinds of cookies! For those people who love variety: snickerdoodles, chocolate chip, sugar, and ginger cookies.
Last minute gift ideas:
- Because I think making a Christmas puzzle is one of the coziest things to do at Christmas. Especially when there are snacks!
- If you know someone obsessed with kakigori (Japanese shaved ice), this is the perfect winter-y present.
- The cutest donut holiday sweatshirt ;)
- A garlic press sounds like a weird gift, but trust me, whoever you gift it to will thank you every time they use it, which will be literally everyday.
- If you’re looking for more gift ideas, you can check out my gift guide from last year! I wanted to do one this year too but totally missed the ball >_<
Happy Friday! Hope your weekend is festive and cozy :)
