Getting Ready

Getting ready for Christmas is not an easy or quick process, but man it is a fun one. The kids get so excited to drag all those bins (I think we're up to 15 😆) out of the attic and slowly unveil all of our Christmas treasures. With each new box, there are squeals of excitement and then the red and green monster slowly starts to take over the house. Because before you can have a beautifully decorated holiday home, there is much work to be done.

1) Most important step- put out the Advent calendar! This is not as easy as it looks because it requires planning out our entire December calendar so I'll know what to put on each card. The days we are not doing some fun activity (like the tree lighting or gingerbread decorating), I have to find three tiny treasures that will fit inside the door. The kids are obsessed with opening the door each day so the pressure is on to make it good!



2. Unload all those tote bins and start putting things into place...


3. Buy your Christmas tree!


4. Set out all the stockings...


5. Decorate your Christmas tree...


6. Open up your Christmas jammies!





7. If you start early enough, you may even finish your work in time to go to a "Hanging of the Greens" service at church with your girlies...



8. Finally, get cozy in your new jammies, admire all the twinkling lights, and get ready for the magic of the season to unfold.
