Hi Achternaam,

Every year around this time, my team and I take a holiday break to reset and recharge. I love SimplyCanning.com! But the one downside is that running a website means being online most of the time, so its always nice to step away for some rest in December.

That means we'll be taking a short break from weekly newsletters too!

But before I go, I wanted to do two things:

1.) Thank YOU for reading and watching this year. I'm thankful for you enjoying our newsletters, asking your canning questions, and sharing your projects with us. It is always a joy to help you learn how to preserve your own food!

2.) I also wanted to share a few Christmas resources with you, in case you're looking for gift ideas or wondering how to support SimplyCanning at the end of the year. :)

Simply Canning Gift Guide - UPDATED for 2023!

Shopping online you can do from your own home at your convenience is so much more relaxing and enjoyable than the old type of Christmas shopping, isn't it? I recently updated my gift guide, with ideas for what you can give the canners in your life this year.

Homemade gift jar ideas are boundless! You can do so much with a jar and basket. Make each gift personal to the person you love.

I mentioned this in my gift guide too, but we also run an Etsy shop with lots of canning and gardening gifts, including canning jar labels, T-shirts, mugs, and more.

Check out my shop here.

I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year, everyone. I'll talk to you soon.

Many blessings,
Sharon
