What’s not to love about Christmas? Even the scroogiest Scrooge has to admit that the twinkling lights and excitement of children makes the season special.
Here is a collection of my own best ideas for a festive and blessed season. Merry Christmas!
Day 1: A New Craft For Your Kids
Your kids and grandkids are going to have at least 14 days in a row off from school and, likely, driving you nuts. Here are ideas for getting them busy learning a new skill or craft.
Day 2: Read All About It!
Make reading holiday favorites part of your tradition and memories! Suggested titles here.
Day 3: Light Up Someone’s Holiday
Have you thought of bringing holiday cheer to someone with a few strings of lights? Battery-powered means there won’t be any addition to a power bill.
Day 4: A Gift of Service
What better way to teach our kids that Christmas isn’t just about getting but giving than to make this a part of your annual tradition?
Day 5: Keep it Simple, Sweetie!
Don’t overdo it! Simple times make for the sweetest of memories.
Day 6: The Gift of Memories
I like these gift ideas! No more gifts that are quickly forgotten with this suggestion!
Day 7: Give the Gift of Preparedness
Equip your loved one with a handy emergency kit.
Day 8: Enjoy the Fruits of Your Labor
At some point, sit down and enjoy the lights, the smells, and the beauty of Christmas.
Day 9: Our Favorite Things
This is a tradition we’ve carried on for several years. We love sharing our favorite things with family members.
Day 10: Jesus is the Reason
Ever get so busy with Christmas prep that you completely forget what the holiday is all about?
Day 11: Is That All There Is?
Yes, post-Christmas let down is a real thing. Here’s my best tip for overcoming it.
Day 12: Do It All Again Next Year!
There are 11 months from now until the next time you haul out those Christmas decorations. Here’s what I do that helps me remember where everything goes!
