Are you the type of person that believes an elf murders a reindeer for every tree lit before Thanksgiving? Is “Bah Humbug” one of your catch phrases and The Grinch your idol?
If so, this blog post is probably not for you.
Not yet, anyway.
However, with the average American spending approximately $700 on Christmas gifts annually, I encourage you to give the early Christmas spirit side a try.

Despite being questioned throughout my life —thanks to a non-Anglo-Saxon surname— I still, to this day, have no Mexican ancestry. Apparently, my astonishingly pale skin tone and inability to roll my Rs isn’t a clear enough indication.
However, what I do have is a deep appreciation for skulls.
And, thanks to this little fact, it is impossible for me not to be drawn to the intricately embellished sugar skulls. They’re captivating.
I’m usually geared more towards cutesy Halloween décor as a mother of twin boys are afraid of their own shadows and a daughter who I believe might be the next Stephen King – or Ted Bundy. One can never be too sure. But, what I do know is that her love of the macabre is unmatched by the remaining members of the household.
Kid’s a little creepy. Just sayin’.
What do I love more than crafting? Stupid easy crafts with stellar results.
Insert this insanely easy project that does not have to be confined to Halloween decor.
These little guys will be a permanent staple in my house.
It doesn’t hurt that I’ve always had a fixation with skulls, in both art and decor. Even the quickest of strolls through my Pinterest would reveal that. So, there’s no way I’d put these into storage come November 1st.
Nope. We’ve bonded.
