Christmas seemed to come around very quickly this year, so I had a hard time getting into it. But we put up our trees and decorations (although not as much as last year) the day after Thanksgiving and I'm kind of loving the more simple decorations, and it's helping me to be more excited. I think the key for me this year is not to overschedule or overdecorate or overanything.
We have several activities that we like to do this season:
- Put together gingerbread houses
- See Christmas lights
- Dinner out at a restaurant to celebrate Christmas
- A random act of kindness
- Each person choosing their own chocolate bar at the grocery store
- Reading the Christmas story
- This year we will go to church on Christmas morning
Unfortunately, I don't have anything purchased, but I'm thinking about it.
