    Thanksgiving is over and you know what that means - it's time to break out the Christmas decorations! This easy Christmas craft, simple DIY Santa Yarn Balls, are fun and festive - and you can even give them as gifts!

    I have always loved decorating for the holidays, and I am kind of torn about what to do this year. With it just being myself and Angeline, I am not sure that we have the elbow grease to decorate the entire house - we definitely aren't going to put up the Christmas lights like Chris did every year.

    BUT...we are going to decorate at least a little, I bought a small tree last year that I can't wait to put up!
