I absolutely love compiling these seasonal round-up posts. There are endless clever holiday ideas out there, and I have so much fun rounding them up to share with you here. The seasonal ideas are particularly abundant at Christmastime, so this holiday I had to extend my “Seasonal Seven” to include even more awesome seasonal sightings. I hope you enjoy these December Delights as much as I have!
