I just read something that says there are 35 days until Christmas! Can you believe it? I’m going to continue focusing on Thanksgiving until next Friday, then it’s going to be all Christmas all the time around our house. It’s my absolute favorite holiday and I can’t wait!
For the first time ever I’ve already bought a couple of Christmas presents. I took advantage of theErinCondren50% off salethe other day and got my kids teachers some personalized desk pads. I thought that was a really great gift but wanted to add a little more.
I’ve decided these Deck the Halls Biscotti from theBright Ideas websitewould be great to give as well… a little something delicious and homemade along with something personalized just for them!

I love this!! I’ve decided to do homemade gifts for our extended family this year and it clearly needs to be easy – lol. xo
So fun and festive! Biscotti is one of my favorite edibles to give, and I love how darn cute these are.
I love biscotti this time of year. My best friend from high school (who I have lost touch with in the last ten years) always gifted these during the holidays, so I can’t have a biscotti and not think of her! Love it!!

Love these, Kristen! You can stick an m&m on just about anything and I’ll eat it!
Whoa, only 35 days until Christmas….um, I think my heart stopped beating for a second. Biscotti is one of my favorite holiday cookies, and they make such a fun gift.

I haven’t done a bit of shopping yet! Oy! When you said Christmas is 35 days away I had a mini freak out, buuut these will just calm me the crap down : )

I love the idea of giving biscotti to teachers! We have a mother’s day out thingy that we go to and I’ve been trying to dream up cookie plates to take as a thank you – these are DEFINITELY on it!
I have officially bought one gift. Everyone else who’s almost is making me feel guilty! Maybe I’ll have to whip up a batch of this biscotti to give out as presents! Looks amazing!

These will work for Thanksgiving, too, just substitute the fall colored M&Ms. I can’t wait to make some.
- Urban Wife says
I would most certainly pick off all the m&ms. 😉

I picked Haley up the other day and she said it was the 63rd day of school. Already? How is that possible?? Before we know it, we’ll be talking about Superbowl food. Just want to stop time….I love this time of year <3

I get so excited for the Christmas season too! I love the fun colors of the M&M’s on the chocolate. Gorgeous!!!
These are SO adorable! And I’m so excited to make them for some special this holiday season. They’ll make a great gift!
I have never in my life said no to a piece of biscotti and coffee. These are tempting!
Oh my Kristen these look very festive! Yum!!!

I’m always looking for new ideas to bake with M&Ms other than throwing into a cookie. Did you see the new gingerbread ones at Walmart? I may have to try this idea with them!
