12 great things in my life...

I don't know how I messed up with the days but since it is 12-12-12 I am restarting the countdown on 12. Today's theme is 12 Christmas activities I do with my family almost every year.

12 - Put up the tree on November 12.

11 - Put up outdoor Christmas lights this year has been a set back becasue the hail storm in August destroyed many of them but we put what we could and will start collecting them again. I pride myself on being able to see the lights from the highway!!

10 - Make sugar cookies to be eaten with candy cane hot chocolate and delivered to neighbours.


9 - Christmas Eve upwrap PJ's.

8 -  Go Caroling

7 - Drive around and look at Christmas lights.

6 - Watch Christmas Movies

5 - Shop for anonymous gifts (Either for a family or from an angel tree or toys for tots)

4 - We wrap up Christmas Stories and then the kids get to choose one to unwrap and we read one every night. (Totally haven't done yet for this year oh well)


3 - Act out the Nativity

2 - Go sledding (we have our own version if there isn't any snow we pull sleds behind motorbikes on the ice.)

1 - Try to instill and remember that Christ is the Reason for the Season.

What is your favourite Christmas Tradition?
