When all the school supplies were on clearance I had this great idea. I should get all the kids crayons, markers, colored pencils, pencils, a drawing pad, glue etc and give them an "Art Advent" box for Christmas. I tell you I am full of excellent ideas that require quite a lot of prep work. So, I spend much of my weekend sorting tiny buttons and pompoms into project size containers. I think it will be fun for the kids, and me as I'm *planning* on making instructional videos for most of the projects. I think each video will be less than five minutes.
There are many things to do this time of year- I would like to find a good Santa for pictures- ASAP after Thanksgiving so that I can get them some pictures printed and send out Christmas cards earlyish this year. I always get about halfway through and say 'screw it- I don't even care anymore.' But- baby's first Christmas and all- gotta make the effort.
Soon it will be time to get out the Christmas tree(s) and nativity sets. I've got a thing about trees. I resist getting a big tree (it's always little people with little fingers wanting to touch things and pull them down- I might be able to do it next year.) So- I have full on collection of little trees. It's like a mini forest up in here by the time we're done. I also collect nativities- I think there were a dozen plus up last year. I'll clear off the bookshelves and the mantle for them.
I've already got my Christmas socks on. I start legit Christmas shopping in July. This is what it's all about.
