Season's Greetings!

...It's both the sentiment for this time of year and the name of one of our Christmas collections. 
We're in the holiday mood, so we thought we'd share two easy Christmas-themed blocks today, both using the Season's Greetings collection.
You know, since you're no doubt sitting back relaxed, all ready for the holidays. Not out buying last-minute presents, cruising the grocery store aisles, or frantically searching for another roll of tape to finish wrapping the gifts. :)
