The holidays are a great time to get together and spend time together with the ones you love. It's also a time when the craftsters and creaters come out to play. I'm still in the process of becoming this brillant like the creators I snagged these from, but I'm having fun while I'm getting there and hope you are too. :) For the elf pinecon, turkey pinecones, turkey made out for paper bags and peppermint wreath I got them all from marthastewart.com For the elf pincone you will need to go to the site for sure because you will need the template that she provide for the mittens, hat and elf shoes. For the turkey save your grocery bags and this project is practicly free. :) The turkey pinecones are the easiest. All you need is pinecones, brown pipe cleaners, hot glue and something for the feathers(actual feathers, foam, construction paper etc.). Cut a big enough piece of pipe cleaner for a turkey head a hot glue to the front of the pinecone and do this as well with the feathers that you have chosen. When it came to the peppermint wreath I made a few minor adjustments so it could fit my budget. I bought a smaller wreath, which I see now they sometime have at the dollar store so keep that in mind. I used about eight bags of peppermint, but they were only a dollar each. I hot glued each one on and added the ribbon just for fun because I had it. :) 
The eggnog and sugar cookie recipe I got from Paula Deen magazines but you can also get them from Food Network or her website. You will not be disappointed with either of them. The pumpkin with tissue paper and homemade suckers was my own creation. All you need to do is scoop out a pumpkin paint or carve your own creation, dry out really well and place tissue paper with special treats. :)
