My days are so busy anymore that I find myself coming and going . It's hard to believe that this year has past by so quickly that we are already into the last month (Dec) of this year. So thus begins the setting up the tree, lights, and decor and I have to tell you I love this yearly tradtion!
Usually I decorate the tree by myself ,but the last couple of years or so I have let the boys help me as well because they enjoy it as much as I do . They older ones do a pretty good job of distrubiting the ornaments evenly around the tree ,but the younger 2 focus on putting alot of ornaments together in one place on the tree and it dosen't quite look as nice , but usually when they are asleep I will do a little rearranging. All in all we get the house all festive for Christmas and of course you can never have too much.
During this season we have family tradtions that we do like preparing Christmas Boxes for OCC, reading the Christmas Story in several differnet childrens books and from the Bible, making Christmas Cookies while listening to Christmas music ( my kids love this ) , sitting in front of our fireplace playing board games (this can get very competitive HAHA) , watching a Christmas movie and having popcorn and hot cocoa with it (FUN) ,Driving around and looking at Christmas Lights and I don't know about you but I love glancing inside their windows as we pass and seeing all thier beautiful trees and décor . It always gives me ideas as well ! These are just a few tradtional things we do every yr!
