To me, it's not Christmas until...

At this house there are a million things that helps Christmas come, however because of this blog and focusing on the holidays we are going to talk about the craft section and things we actually do.

On the first day of Christmas, we make a chain, but not just any chain a countdown chain. This chain is made up of green a red construction papers, very much like they do at school. The difference is each chain has a set of instructions on them. For instance, one might say string popcorn or string berries while another will say read or watch a Christmas story. You get the idea right? Now you just do it yourself and make up one for your family.

Christmas isn't something you should stress about, to me it's all about the kids and without them I think I would lose the magic of the season. Every year my house gets extremely messy the day of Christmas but leading up to it is the most fun I have all year...well besides Halloween.

What are some things that makes Christmas real to you? Is it the parties? The family coming to visit? Christmas movies? Stories? Christmas shopping, akkk, I hate that part.

This blog is part of a carnival held by Katelyn over at Free Holiday Ideas, the title is: To me, it's not Christmas until..., now you write it up and give a shout out to her to let her know you participated. Or go to Momgadget and tell her in the forum there. Don't forget to look over Katelyn's site for more ideas to add to your list of fun things to do for Christmas.
