Every December I attempt a Christmas activity countdown. I always have such great expectations. I print activities out on little slips of paper and put them in the pockets of our advent calendar. Then, we forget or just don't have the time most days, and end up just doing whatever we want anyways. So, this year I decided to do a bucket list instead. Things we can just cross off the list when we do them. I figure it should be a short list, since realistically, we only have time to do one or two activities a week anyways. So, here are our most favorite things to do during the Christmas holiday, along with some new things we'd like to try.
Decorate Christmas tree
Make ornaments to add to tree
Make and frost cookies
Draw names and make gifts for siblings
Deliver treats to neighbors
Decorate gingerbread houses
Watch Polar Express in cardboard train, drink hot cocoa. (In pajamas)
Make friend gifts and deliver
Read Christmas books
Read about the nativity in the scriptures (Christmas Eve)
I may or may not include some of the kids friends in the Polar Express activity.
Can you tell I'm excited for the holidays?
