We’ll be switching gears over the holidays and bringing back “Dear Mrs. Claus” in place of Colorful Mondays. The first roundup will be November 29th so make sure to get your photos in before then.

About Dear Mrs. Claus: “Dear Mrs. Claus” is a fun collection of photographs and recipes from around the web that we are hoping will find their way into our homes via Mrs. Claus. If you have some Christmas pictures/recipes waiting to be shared (from Christmas past or present) please send me a photo and a link to your post and I’ll be happy to add it to the Mrs. Claus collection. Just e-mail me at mondays@kitchensimplicity.com

P.S. Colorful Mondays will resume on January 10th with the winning color from the last poll. I will announce it once Dear Mrs. Claus is done.

I can’t  wait to see all your holiday submissions!
