I am trying to stay ahead of the Christmas season...so I have been making list after list. Now if I DO anything on any of theses lists... Anyway, one thing I try to do is have the boys do an "activity" each day to get ready for Christmas. I made the above box last year, but it is WAY packed away and I have NO idea where it is and I don't think I had the boxes full of ideas anyway. So, I started a new idea list for the boys and I really need some help to complete the list... here is what I have so far (these are random, not in any order):
1. Make an ornament (or 2 or 3)
2. make cookies
3. write a Santa letter
4. wrap present (s)
5. make xmas cards
6. watch "Christmas Story"
7. watch "The Grinch"
8. watch "Charlie Brown Christmas"
9. watch "Polar Express"
10. Buy a Christmas book at Borders
11. make hot chocolate and read a Christmas story
12. Visit Santa
13. Camp under the xmas tree
14. Go to a holiday/Christmas show
15. make xmas chain to count down the days
16. Jolly Holiday lights
I need 8 more ideas...
I would do some snow related things, like build a snowman, but I can't count on the snow...I don't count the tree because it is put up in November...sometimes. So if you have any ideas..please share!!!

do the cookie walk at the Ankeny Historical museum on Dec 5th, saturday. I already purchased a ticket for you.
do snow angels and build a snowman...hopefully this will NOT be possible because it won't snow until February and only for one short week.

How about taking food to the food pantry one day - season of giving, but in a different way? Or take them shopping with $5 each and have them pick out things for it - my nephew loved it.
We made Shrinky Dinks when we were kids - something I still love to do!!!
A photo shoot one day with Santa hats?
Have fun!!! I love traditions!
Awesome ideas...love the food pantry thing!! Thanks for your input!
