Popcorn and Pinecones

Between laundry, picking up and trying to clean, going to town because there's a storm coming, making two wreaths with ornaments (NOT a coat hanger--that wire is too stiff) I made EASY peppermint popcorn. I was so lazy, I bought this already popped corn.
Melted a bag of white chocolate chips with about 1/2 bag of peppermint crunch chips. It made such a pretty pink coating with a mild flavor.

Poured it on a cookie sheet of popcorn and sprinkled some m & m candies over the top. Broke it up into pieces, bagged it up, and it's ready for the treat bags on Christmas Eve. Easy!!

For the table decorations I glittered some pine cones from our yard. I love the glitter paint with nothing flaking off and getting into my eyes! It didn't take long at all. We always have a feast with so much food to eat, there's not much room for a fancy centerpiece.
If there isn't a blizzard, I can go out and cut some pine branches to put on the table, too. I'm not fond of going outside when the wind is howling!
