12 Days of Christmas continues...

I am really enjoying our 12 days of Christmas. It is helping me to actually do some of the activities I always think about doing but never get around to it. It is also helping to us enjoy the spirit of Christmas.

Day 6 - We got some hot chocolate and drove around to look at Christmas lights (one of our friends Nicholas has a great display).

Day 7 - We watched more Christmas movies -The Birth of Jesus (highly recommended show focusing on the true meaning of Christmas, Kirk Cameron is in it and we watch it every year) and Santa Clause 3 and some Mickey Mouse shows.

Day 8 - We made candy for our neighbors. Again, something I have always planned to do but never did. I had bought these cute little boxes from Oriental Trading, they worked well to deliver the "goodies" in.

Day 9 - Even though things are tight, and it might be a small Christmas gift wise, we are still very blessed and want to share this. We have four bags to take to the local food pantry.
Day 10 - (we actually did this one on Day 9, Day 10 is just going to be too short) We made snowflakes and paper chains.
It is really fun, each day the boys look forward to seeing what is in the stocking. I hope they will remember this year.
