Christmas: Phase Three
Christmas at our house progresses in three phases.
One: Preparation….months of preparation. Shopping for that perfect little thing that will light up the eyes of each child, decking the halls and celebrating with friends.
Plays and Playhouses
Levi’s playhouse was a hit. We had it set up so he’d see it first thing in the morning and he loved it.
Merry Christmas Video
Hey, don’t you ever wonder what the ladies are really like when you read their blogs? I do! I wonder what they look like and what they sound like. That’s why I made this little video for you to say Merry Christmas.
Ten Gifts I am Giving Myself
Since Christmas is sparse this year, I decided to give myself some gifts.
Here are the ten things I am giving myself:
Free Christmas Decor, Pt 3
It may be a little late for Christmas decorations, but there’s always next year to think about. The older I get, the faster it seems to come around again.
Mexican Food and Other Traditions
We had our last Christmas party of the season on Sunday night. Some families came over to enjoy the fellowship and some Mexican food.
I’m all about Mexican food.
A Fifties Christmas
Last night was our homeschool mom’s Christmas party….fifties style!
Since I can’t do anything in a small way, I got myself a can of Aquanet and went to town…..
All I Want for Christmas is Two Nights of Sleep
Our weekend was a blur of activity. At least, my vision is blurred. But that could be due to the fact that I stayed up past 2:00 am both nights.
I do not thrive under these conditions.
Free Christmas Decor, Part 2
For years I’ve looked for a large decoration to put on the front porch. I decided to use my free decorating challenge to make something myself.
A Plethora of Christmas Cheer
The holidays are so grand. I love the festivity and hustle and bustle…oh dear. Here comes a song….
♪ “It’s the MOST wonderful time….of the yeeee-ah!” ♪
