So now that the turkey is gone it is time to start counting down to Christmas. There are only three more days until the official countdown to Christmas starts. So I thought I would share some great festive ideas to try for the month of December’s countdown.
24 days til Christmas: Start off the Christmas countdown by getting a children’s coloring book and coloring some festive pictures. These will make great decorations for around the house and hey, who doesn’t like to color?:)
23 days til Christmas: Ask all friends and relatives what they want for Christmas and make a list. This way you can bring the list around with you when shopping and know exactly what to get for each person.
22 days til Christmas: Go get a Christmas tree! I don’t get mine until December third because the needles tend to fall off if you get it to soon.
21 days til Christmas: Build a ginger bread house. This is a great activity for any one of any age and a delicious one toJ
20 days til Christmas: Make your Christmas cards, that way all you have to do when it is closer to Christmas is mail them out; this alleviates a lot of stress.
19 days til Christmas: Movie night! Watch some Christmas movies with a big bowl of popcorn and a cup of hot coco. ABC Family has great Christmas movies that run all season long.
18 days til Christmas: Decorate the tree. Now that the tree has had a few days to settle toss in a Christmas CD, pour some eggnog, and get to decorating.
17 days til Christmas: Read some Christmas stories. Snuggle up by the Christmas tree with a few childhood favorites a cup of hot cider and get carried away to the magical North Pole.
16 days til Christmas: Make a personalized ornament for your tree.
15 days til Christmas: Wrap all your presents and set them under the Christmas tree.
14 days til Christmas: Start your Christmas baking by spending the day making all sorts of festive cookies.
13 days til Christmas: Go to a local mall and get a photo with Santa. You’re never to old!
12 days til Christmas: By now everyone has Christmas decorations up so take a ride around your neighborhood at night to look at all the magical lights.
11 days til Christmas: Eat a picnic dinner by the lit tree.
10 days til Christmas: Make some Christmas crafts to add that final touch to your house.
9 days til Christmas: Make the rest of your Christmas deserts.
8 days til Christmas: Make paper snowflakes to hang around the house!
7 days til Christmas: Help those in need by donating gifts or food to a local shelter.
6 days til Christmas: Make Christmas phone calls to relatives or friends you won’t see this holiday.
5 days til Christmas: Set out your stockings by the fire.
4 days til Christmas: Go see a local nativity scene or Christmas play.
3 days til Christmas: Make reindeer food! (Glitter + oats)
2 days til Christmas: Finish your Christmas baking and do your Christmas cooking. Bring some baked goods to neighbors, family, and friends.
