Ho Ho Holiday Blog Hop!

Happy Holidays! The Bento Bloggers & Friends are blog hopping!
But we're doing things a little different this time - we're spreading the bento love out over the next 3 weeks - both to keep the fun going, and to keep the hops a little shorter, since our group has grown so big!

If you missed  or can't finish a hop, don't worry - you can still do them, just click that week's button to follow the hop - or the thumbnail links to all the posts to visit them individually!
