Move over Thanksgiving and Fall because it is officially time to celebrate my favorite season with this festive list of Christmas activities the whole family can enjoy.
The day after Thanksgiving may be the busiest shopping day of the year but it is also the day I officially start, both physically and mentally, celebrating the holidays. I blast the Christmas carols and pull up all the Christmas storage bins out of the basement. Then I begin to transform our house into a buffalo plaid Winter Wonderland. But nothing gets me more in the Christmas spirit then doing and making ALL the holiday themed activities and crafts. Since I love making lists, I made a Christmas Bucket list for our family. It is guaranteed to get us in the holiday spirit every way imaginable. December 25th will be here before you know it so its important to take advantage of this magical time and not squander it!
