12 Days of Christmas

Jamie and I are so excited about the holidays this year, we decided to do something a little special.  We're going to call it "The Twelve Days of Christmas."  Counting down the days of Christmas, we are going to do something for these next 12 days {actually less now, but who's counting?} that puts us in the Christmas spirit.  I hope to carry this tradition on for many Christmases to come.

12 Days of Christmas Countdown!

Day 12:  Take picture with Santa.

Day 11:  Write Santa a Christmas list.

Day 10:  Bake Christmas cookies.

Day 9:  Look at Christmas lights.

Day 8:  Pajama night.

Day 7:  Christmas movie marathon {with a little hot chocolate}.

Day 6:  Gift-wrapping fun.

Day 5:  Gingerbread house-making party.

Day 4:  Read a meaningful Christmas story.

Day 3:  See a Christmas play or movie.

Day 2:  Attend Christmas church service.

Day 1:  Celebrate Jesus' birthday!

Although they may or may not be done in this particular order, the important thing is that we do them as a family.  Enjoy time with your family and don't forget what we are really celebrating this time of year...the birth of our Jesus Christ.  

Happy holidays, my friends.  Let the countdown begin!
