• Reading 24 Christmas books... one each day
• Baking for charity, teachers, and friends
• Making lists and checking them twice
• Painting ornaments, piggy banks, and birdhouses
• Shopping, wrapping, bagging, and tagging
• Oohing on our nightly twinkle light tours
• Dancing in the dark with a flower flashlight
• Eating clementines + pumpernickel bread
• Dreaming of snow angels on Christmas Day
• Nursing coughs + colds
• Paying bills, holding mail, and making plans
• Printing photos + addressing cards
• Washing, drying, and folding
• Packing food, clothes, and comforts for vacation
• Watering a ridiculously thirsty tree
• Singing "Jingle Bells" + "Frosty the Snowman"
• Growing a nutcracker 600xs his size
• Jumping into a huge heap of blankies
• Shouting love yous into a 30" paper roll
• Catching Bleu, who falls every second or so
• Making messes + cleaning them up
• Admiring our halls all gussied up for December
• Anticipating the weekend with My Sweets
• And {fingers crossed} ice cream cake on Sunday
