The way things are looking we may not be able to do any of our usual activities outside the house.For that reason I know my husband and I need to make this Christmas more special for our kids.More special moments which will include doing crafts, baking goodies, and putting up even more Christmas decor.This post has inspired me, you have a lot of creative ideas/tips. Thank you!
I know what you mean. Christmas won’t be the same at our home either. I’m thinking of doing that advent calendar where you get a little present each day up until Christmas. It’s usually something small and an activity like baking cookies or drinking hot chocolate.
Christmas is my favorite holiday. Such a great time of year. These are some great suggestions. I have never served in a soup kitchen but I would like to some time. What a blessing that would be. Thank you so much for sharing
Helping others is a great way to celebrate the holiday season
