Hi friends! December is finally here and usually it feels like things will be very hectic and next thing I know it’s the New year! I want to enjoy this season by simplifying our Christmas activities. Hubs and I are intentional in telling the kids the real reason why we are celebrating Christmas. Our Savior’s birth! I’ve simplified our decors and have no plans to buy more decorations. We are happy with our fresh tree and wreath we got at the Christmas tree farm. I will buy poinsettias (it’s a must have holiday flower/plant for me) in the coming days, and that would be it .
We have an advent calendar Bible reading from our church, we plan to do that. I also got the kids cheap advent calendars from Trader Joes, so they get a little treat after we talk about Jesus’s Birth.
Mia will be joining our Church’s kids Christmas presentation, so we are excited to see her perform!HA. We were also invited (by our realtor) to watch the new Wonka movie this month, families were invited. We will also watch the Christmas lights display around our neighborhood/near neighboring cities.
I’ve seen lots of December decluttering challenges all over social media, I think I will join them because it’s really fun for me and inspiring to see other families declutter and simplify their homes/lives. I did one kitchen drawer earlier. That was a good start. Nothing big but little actions like these give me a boost!HA
We will continue to do our family walks this month. Mia is not a big fan already because she complains about the weather.
We had pizza after our walk. We like that we have restaurants within walking distance of our house so we get to do things like this.
Have a great Friday night friends. We will play some Uno and other game cards before we call it a night here. Stay safe and take care:)
