25 Christmas Activities to Do by December 25
It’s no secret in this household, that I love Christmas. It’s my favorite holiday and most importantly, I love the reason we celebrate- Christ’s birth. When I was thinking about the upcoming holiday season, I tried to come up with twenty-five activities to do before Christmas day comes. Since the day of Christmas goes so quickly, I like to celebrate practically all month long. This year, I am a little behind because of our new addition…
Hopefully, we will be able to check all of these off our list as we count down the days till Christmas morning!
I hope you will be able to use some of these ideas in your household this season as you anticipate Christmas approaching.
- Cut down a Christmas tree.
- Bake Christmas cookies. (Our favorites are sugar cookies, gingerbread, Candy cane twists, and oatmeal scotchies.)
