Christmas Advent

 

I love Christmas time. I love to pack as much in as I possibly can in the month so that by the time January rolls around I am sure to get sick from exhaustion.

(Thus the reason why January always seems to boring). 

 

Here is our Christmas to do list. 

Feel free to copy and do what your family likes to do or start some new traditions.
