It doesn't seem like long ago I was bemoaning the fact that I wasn't ready for the Christmas season to end. And now it is just around the corner!
I have made my mix of Christmas songs for this year (some to be posted to friends on cd as Christmas cards ) and although I have a thing against using anything with snow at Christmas time I couldn't resist a couple of songs that mention sleighs and snow bells because Bette Midler has a great Christmas party voice. And Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby remind me of my grandmother at Christmas time.
We will watch favourite movies with great Christmas scenes (all with snow!) and this year I plan to watch all of It's A Wonderful Life. I bought the kids Polar Express, which will be a fun family night (with treats).
I have all but finished the advent calendar and am looking forward to making Margaret Foultons mince pies. I'll watch Willie's Perfect Chocolate Christmas again because it is just so nice to see.
And of course we will read all of the versions we have of the Nativity, with this one making a special appearance at church.
I love creating our own family traditions around this time of year!
