It's our most favourite time of the year! This year we have decided to spruce up our home Christmas decorations with humble oranges! We really love how the dried oranges give a good pop of colour and contrast on our tree.
Dehydrating orange slices and turning them into drink garnishes, Christmas ornaments and decorations can be a fun and easy holiday project. Dried oranges may also be a more eco-friendly and cheaper alternative to plastic ornaments. Plus, they smell heavenly during the dehydrating process!

We dehydrated the oranges in my dehydrator for 12 hours at 65 degrees. The orange slices were about ¼" in thickness. Note: be careful not to cut the orange slices too thin, or they will curl up during the drying process. Poke a small hole in each of the dried orange slices with a small pair of scissors and put a string through it to make the ornament.

Put up the dried orange ornaments and kick back with a glass of wine (or beverage of choice)!

The freshly dried oranges smelled so good, our furry daughter had to give it a little sniff!

Dried oranges can also be used to make an orange wreath! Simply use a hot glue gun to stick the oranges together and secure a few sprigs of rosemary with string to the wreath. While the orange wreath turned out well, I must say that they keep better indoors than outdoors due to the humidity in SG.
What is Christmas without mulled wine?? Making mulled wine is a little Christmas tradition of ours and we just love how the scent of mulled wine fills our home.

So much Christmas joy and magic with a warm cup of tea and a Christmas read!

Drawing and colouring on plain brown paper can be a great family/couple activity! We save on buying gift wrap as well ;)

If you're all for DIY, you may even wish to bake your own Christmas Yule Log! The recipe I used is from Preppy Kitchen. Definitely doable, as this is my first time making a log cake! We hope this post has brought you some Christmas joy and inspiration. Share with us your favourite Christmas food/drink! We would really love to know :D
