25 THINGS IN 25 DAYS



5 more sleeps until December. 4 more weekends until Christmas!

In the spirit of Christmas and of list making (2 of my favourite things), I have written 25 things I would like to do in December. One for each day leading up to Christmas:

Take Clara to the Nutcracker
Have Christmas high tea with the ladies
Make a wreath with my mom and sister
Go to a festive movie and hold hands with my husband
Decorate a gingerbread house
Invite some kids over and make popcorn garlands and paper chains
Make hot chocolate with real chopped chocolate, cream, vanilla beans and homemade marshmallows
Buy a new kid's Christmas book
Buy a new Christmas CD
Go listen to live Christmas music
Read the Christmas story to our kids and then play games by the fire
Give our neighbours a gift
Go ice skating
Got to Breakfast with Santa on Grouse Mountain
Have a Christmas carol sing along
Make some moosemilk
Watch classic Christmas movies one evening and eat lots of popcorn
Hang some mistletoe and kiss under it
Ride the Christmas Train
Give the kids a gift on the first snowfall
Get a family picture taken
Have a candlelit dinner by the fire and drink some whiskey sours
Go sledding
Go skiing
Got to the Festival of Lights with the family and walk around with a warm drink

perfect list, Becks. I bet you can accomplish all of this.

PS
How lovely is this photo of Clara. Is this one from a couple of years ago? She looks very young in this one.
