If you live here in Texas, you might be struggling to find the holiday spirit, what with the weather pinging back and forth between spring and fall every other day. Soon it'll be consistently cold (supposedly), but until then, I’ve gathered up several creative holiday crafts to jump start those holly jolly feels.

Happiest Camper - The cruel, honest truth is: this is the closest we will probably get to a snowman around here yet again. I think the last substantial snow in DFW was in 2012? 2013? My fingers are always crossed, but I think it's best to hedge our bets and make our own adorable snowman.
