Christmas Bucket List

Well, Its a little over a week until Christmas.  Am I ready? Not even close.  I always have so much excitement all year long.  I put so much pressure on myself to get the most out of the holiday season that I barley get anything on my list done.  I cannot be the only one like this.  So, I decided to put together my Christmas List and get my act together.  Now that the older kids are on Christmas break we can focus on having fun and maybe get some of these things checked off my bucket list.

25.  Make and decorate sugar cookies.

24.  Visit with Santa.  There is the most nostalgic little Santa house near us, with the cutest Santa and Mrs. Clause.  I used to visit Santa here when I was a child.

23.  Make a Holiday playlist.

22.  Make fireplace s,mores and listen to Christmas music.

21.  Make hot chocolate and drive around looking at Christmas lights.
