Allright. I will try to be clear so you all can have a better idea of what Christmas will be like in our household. The 1st of December starts out with an advent calender and setting up the Christmas tree and decorations. Every Sunday evening we will search for magical nieghborhoods filled with twinkling lights. The middle of Dec. we host a Birthday Party for Jesus. It includes cake and cocoa, candy and crafts. We donate gifts to less fortunate children. My children will take part in buying gifts for our friends and loved ones. We spend time with our family in various ways may it be ice skating at the Galleria, Holiday in the Park, Trimming each others trees, or baking and exchanging Christmas goodies. We also decorate a ginger bread house. On Christmas Eve we might go carrolling, or stay in by the fire reading Christmas stories and eating Christmas popcorn. Christmas morning we have the largest breakfast you could ever imagine with just about every favorite breakfast dish possible. We open a few gifts and check out our stockings. Andy has volunteered to start dressing up as Santa. Then we are on our way to visit family. The whole month is filled with the most beautiful music and lights and smells. We are always wishful for snow! You see, I am not anti-santa. I am not going to hipe him up though.
