Rudolf the reindeer with the red nose makes a fun keychain—and not just at Christmas. You can crochet him in no time using a few pieces of leftover yarn.

Eggs aren’t just eaten for breakfast at Easter—they’re also enjoyed at Christmas! Of course, Easter bunnies and hens don’t quite fit the Christmas theme.
