Sewn from fun winter print flannel, these pillowcases make their appearance the first of December. Even though Big, Middle, and Little are hardly small children anymore, they are still eager to put their “Christmas pillowcases” on their beds.If you sew, I think these would be a great gift for someone on your list, or perhaps for your own family. I love ours, in part for their simplicity—they’re easy to launder and they’re easy to store. They make for an uncomplicated tradition—just jump in bed and let the visions of sugarplums begin. Of course, the main reason I love them is because they remind me of my Dear Friend and the many happy times we’ve had as well as the prayers we have said for one another through the years.
I’d love to hear about your simplest holiday traditions. In the meantime, sweet dreams!
I love these! I have Christmas pillowcases but never remember to put them on the beds *sigh* maybe when little one if older I will have more control over things lol
ReplyDeleteOh, these are so cozy and lovely. (I wish I could sew!) What a sweet reminder of your friend...In our house we read from Dickens, make egg nog, and bake, bake, bake. It really is the simple things that conjure up the sugar plums!

I love these and your Christmas time tradition. What s thoughtful gift. We are still doing elf on the shelf with our youngest who just turned 11. Even though i know she doesn't believe in him anymore, she still pretends so we can play the game of finding him each morning.
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely and what a great idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a GREAT gift. You are so lucky to have a special friend. This time of year is FILLED with simple family traditions for us....going to see our town tree lit and being able to walk around our town until midnight that night is a must. Another, is we make hot chocolate and put in a thermos with paper cups and whipped cream, dress in our pj's and drive around to see all the houses lit up. At 21, my oldest requested some Baily's this year!! I probably should do a post on this sometime!
