Oh Christmas traditions.
We don't really have set traditions. Maybe someday we will have something more concrete. We mostly just have things we would like to do, but not a big deal if you don't get to it.
- Put up tree before Thanksgiving and decorate after
- Visit Santa
- Decorate gingerbread houses
- Visit Mesa Temple lights
- Decorate cookies
- deliver treats to neighbors
- fires in the backyard
- drinking hot chocolate
The kids and I have enjoyed thinking about and doing simple services with the Light the World campaign for the LDS Church this year.
I have been over booked and over stressed out the last couple months. So, I've been trying to keep things fun for my kids but also keep their expectations super low. I hate to disappoint them with big promises and small deliveries. We've skipped many parties and activities to just spend time and enjoy each others company. I know Christmas time is a time for families gatherings, but this year I'm more focused on little family, at home.
Do you enjoy traditions or do you like to keep it low key? I'm not a planner in general so the lowest key possible for me, please.
I'm liking this post up today with Mommy Style Monday ladies.
