Hopefully you feel well fed, well rested and got a little shopping done this weekend! Last night we attended our holiday favorite – The Christmas Carol – at the Playhouse in the Park downtown. It’s become quite the tradition to go every year and it feels like a holiday kick off of sorts. I love to go early in December because it gets me in the holiday mood. This time we took Josh’s family and I think they really enjoyed it!
In honor of December 1st, I thought I’d create a Christmas Bucket List to help me remember all those fabulous ideas I had at the beginning of the holiday season that seem to slip my mind after things get busy! I think I speak for all of us when I say that my Pinterest boards are filled with crafts and recipes that I’m always going to try but never get around to.
So here is my Christmas Bucket List. Hopefully I’ve inspired you to create one for yourself and make the most of this special time with family and friends. Now off to make those gingerbread pancakes for brunch!
