Bring on the Festivity

Happy Wednesday- I can't believe it is almost the end of November. Even though I dislike how fast this month has gone I am so looking forward to the holidays, especially Christmas!

With December fast approaching my mind is on festive fun- like baking, decorating our house and spending time with family.  Yesterday I turned on the Christmas music and pulled out a few decorations to sparkle up the living room. I lit my peppermint candle and got to thinking about all the activities I want to do as a family this month. I love the idea of making the whole month of December filled with activities, rather than waiting for the holidays and cramming them all into a couple of days.

So In comes the festive fun list, it can be as simple or elaborate as you want and you can include traditions you already do. I think we will do our list out of order and just check things off as we do them.
