The holidays can be tricky. Lots of shopping, preparation, wrapping, trips to the post office, money literally flying out of your wallet, cooking, the constant threat of being electrocuted by your "vintage" Christmas lights that may not be up to code....it's a lot to deal with! When feeling stressed by all the holiday hullabaloo, it's a good idea to simplify. For example, I've decided that a traditional Christmas dinner will be too much work, and too redundant coming on the heels of Thanksgiving. Instead, I'll serve this:

Bacon...Wild Turkey...it's a win-win!
I'm sure the presentation of it will be enhanced by my ETSY treasures that I've been dying to use all year!
Elfin napkin holders (
I'd credit the source but they were a gift and I'm not sure).
Orange compote from
Modish Vintage:

There, I feel better already!
OMG--those elves are incredible! They sort of look evil, but in a Christmas-y kind of way. The only way I'd change your menu is to substitute the Wild Turkey for a nice cheap red. The bacon and white bread sammy definitely stays!
