I'm working on getting caught up on sharing my Christmas Memories here. I know the date on this one is still November, but I'm okay with that. I'm not in a rush to get it done. We still have plans to celebrate Christmas until January so I have time to catch up.
I thought I'd post my tentative list of what my 25 memories should be. Quite a few of these will be falling on the same day, which is why I'm liking the angle of 25 memories instead of a daily documentation. This will mean so much more to our family.
- Getting our tree
- Christmas Shopping
- Trimming the tree
- School Christmas program
- Elf on the Shelf
- Our christmas countdowns
- What music we are listening to
- Which movies we watch
- Ornaments
- Decor
- Making cookies
- A family picture, and a close up of everyone with thought from all of us.
- Christmas morning at home
- Christmas morning at my parents
- Christmas evening at my parents
- Christmas with Tom's family
- Christmas with my dad
- Our outdoor decorations
- Christmas Eve party
- Cookies & letter to santa
- Christmas crafts
- Wrapping presents
- Visit with santa
- Any art the kids do at school and secret santa shopping.
- Christmas cards we get
It doesn't take much to fill up 25 memories! I might make some substitutions but for now that's how I think it's going to play out.
So, here's our 3rd memory - Trimming the Tree
This side focuses on a family picture we take every year just before we start decorating. We also always have some kind of snacks and Champagne for us adults and sparkling juice for the kids. Growing up this is a tradition my parents started with us and I love being able to continue it!
This side just focuses on the kids decorating the tree. This year Tom and I kind of just stayed back and let the kids put them where they wanted. I didn't buy enough of the lights we are using from Target this year and they don't have them anymore, so as of right now, my tree is only decorated 3/4 of the way up. I need to fix that this weekend. I can't believe they sold out of the lights before December! I will do another layout that focuses on some ornaments!
Happy Christmas!
