It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year. Some of my favorite things about this time of the year:

1. I met my husband 18 years ago four days before Christmas on December 21, 1993.
2. Christmas music
3. Snow!
4. The smell of Christmas cookies baking
5. Candles glowing
6. Snuggling with my husband or children while enjoying the lights from the Christmas tree
7. Baking with my children or friends
8. Christmas shopping!
9. Wrapping presents
10. Smell of pine from the Christmas tree
11. A cozy fire in the fireplace
12. Driving around to see Christmas lights
13. Drinking hot cocoa after being outside in the cold
14. Christmas goodies!
15. Decorating my home for Christmas
16. Smiles and laughter
17. Reading the Christmas story together
18. Singing Christmas carols


This year I decided to plan a little something each day in December to do with the kids that is Christmas-related. I made a simple count-down to Christmas poster using red foam and foam Christmas tree stickers. I wrote the date on each tree and have something written on paper hidden under each date for them to open and do.

I will try to post some of the things we do this month in separate posts!
