This year I have a list of things I simply MUST (want) to do. Every year I make this list and it never seems to get done. I think the only thing that got crossed off in the last 2 years were Greeting Cards for the family.
TO DO:
1. make a gingerbread house
2. Bake as many Christmas cookies and treats as physically possible
3. Make Christmas decorations (felt ornaments, wreath, felt ginger people....things like that)
4. hand and footprint salt dough decorations of my sweet prince's hands and footsies.
5. Take tot to see Santa
6. Christmas Eve Mass
7. Make a delectable Christmas Brunch.
8. Get all of the shopping done before Christmas Eve ( I plan to internet shop this year)
9. Teach the kiddo the REAL story of Christmas ( lucky for me he's obsessed with the story of baby Jesus)
10. String cranberries
11. Drink tons of hot chocolate (marshmallows, peppermint sticks)
12. Get a TREE!!!!
13. Family photo (me, handsome, and tiny)
14. Photos of all of us with my grandparents and great grandmothers (baby's great grandparents and great great grandmothers)
15. Advent calendar
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST 16!!!!! RELAX AND ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS.
Aside from gift buying/giving, most of my plans consist of wonderful (in my opinion) memory making activities to look back on years from now. Family, memories, celebrating the birth of Jesus,spreading joy and cheer, is what the holiday spirit is all about. I refuse to let the commercialism and hustle and bustle prevent me from having a fantastic holiday season. What is on everyone else's to do list this year?
