Make sure your "perfect" tree is one you can see from the cabin window.
Here’s a fun idea for cabin Christmas gatherings! Kids and adults alike will love this one. Try it!
I have to give credit to my mother-in-law. She sure is creative when it comes to the holidays. This is one of my all-time favorite Christmas activities — and it works especially well in the mountains! Decorate an edible Christmas tree for the animals to enjoy!
First, spend an afternoon making edible decorations. (Make sure you don’t use glue, since it can be dangerous to the animals.) Even small kids can join in the fun. Here are some ideas:
- String popcorn and cranberries, cheerios or pretzels to make a garland
- Paint peanut butter on pine cones, roll in birdseed and give them a string hanger
- Loop bagels, apple slices, orange slices and dried fruit from pipe cleaners
String popcorn and cranberries for a beautiful, tasty treat!
Next, set off on a Christmas hunt. Find a pine tree that you can watch out the cabin window. And set to decorating it with all of your edible decorations!
Over the next few days, watch as the birds, squirrels and other animals come to feast on your Christmas tree. Replenish as needed.
Before you leave your cozy cabin, clean up the pipe cleaners and string. Enjoy the memories and photos for years to come!
