Last Christmas there were so many Christmas-y things I wanted to do that I got overwhelmed and we never got do to them all. So a couple of months ago I decided that I would make a list of what I wanted us to do this year, and we would do one Christmas activity each day in December leading up to Christmas. It has been so fun so far! We decorated our tree, watched Christmas movie #1, ran the 5K Jingle Bell Run, watched the Christmas parade downtown, and finished our Christmas cards. It's been so fun for us to look forward to a little Christmas-themed date each day, and we are definitely filled with Christmas spirit!

What did you do over the weekend?
Friday night I wen to a cookie exchange party and ate wayyyy to many Christmas cookies, and we watched Family Man, which is kind of Christmasy. Also, White Christmas is my favorite Christmas movie! I love the fancy dresses and costumes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I wish I had thought of doing something like this! Such a great idea :) glad you're in the Christmas spirit. I got a Christmas tree and did a lot of decorating this weekend and wrapped almost all my presents! Can't wait to share all my Europe pictures!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you got a lot done this weekend! Love how you and the hubby run together!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun!...wishing I was in-shape enough to do a 5k right now!
ReplyDeleteWe had kind-of a chill weekend, but it did snow! and we got to watch the old claymation Rudolph, although I think the abominable snowman gave my little one nightmares!
Oh, I love White Christmas! I try to watch it every year around this time. That and Charlie Brown, of course.

I love it that December weekends are full of holiday things! Saturday morning was a Ladies Christmas Tea at church for me, and Saturday night was a local small-town Christmas parade. Sunday morning was Christmas breakfast together at our church, and Sunday evening was a choral concert at another local church! Next weekend holds more of the same. :-)
