Christmas To-Do List
This morning in my ABF we talked about Advent, especially the fact that Christmas will be what we make of it. And what message(s) do we want to get across to our kids during this time of the year...not just letting Christmas come & go and forgetting to focus on the real meaning. One of the steps was to make a plan so I'm going to work on that, & of course, lists work best for me.
- "trim" the Christmas tree
- set-up the Christmas village (find Disney box, add nativity to village)
- make Christmas cookies with Jenna (Aren can help decorate)
- make presents for Grandma (homemade ornments)
- read a piece of the Advent story each night (get Advent calendar)
- read "Two from Galilee"
- schedule Christmas parties in advance
- Christmas Eve traditions: service @ church, drive around seeing lights, open one gift
- Christmas cards w/ kid's pics
- Christmas research: Why stockings, meaning of gold, frankincense & myrrh, Christmas tree,
I'll keep adding as I think of things.
