*Pardon the errors. I'm typing on the phone*
This Christmas is quickly becoming THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVAR (with an A cause its so rad) and we haven't even done anything yet. I am just loving all the newness.
J and I have our tradition started. I'm doing 12 days of Santa/Christmas related stuff. A quick rundown:
We have our advent calendar which starts at 12 days till. Its going to be filled with a teething cookie for each day. I'm late making them.
We have our 12 days of Christmas book to read along with a few different Christmas books to read at night. Not a few a night, one at night but a few different ones. On Christmas we'll read the story of Jesus' birth. I have some stuff on Santa from around the world that he may like when he's older. Totally starting it now. Maybe it will help him sleep.
The first day we write and send Christmas letters and he gets his. I think i'll send him one every year. I found a place that mails letters to santa in case he wants to send one there too.
On Christmas Eve, we'll spend the day baking like my mother did while istening to Christmas music and/ or watching Christmas movies. After we look at the light show, we'll get him into his PJs and give him his first presents (we exchange early as a family) read Twas The Night Before Christmas and get him to bed.
On Christmas morning, I have to watch the Rockettes and some of the parade. I'm filling his stocking and giving it to him right before we leave so he can have something in the car.
Well now that that's planned out we'll see if it happens. We tend to celebrate on our own a good bit anyway so I don't see why not. I want a gingerbread house too.
I forgot to mention the little events during those 12 days, decorating the house, songs, visiting Santa. Fun stuff. I'm a sucker for the holidays. I can see this holiday being one to top and it has everything to do with this adorable face he makes when we read at night. I'm looking forward to it!
