December is a busy time of year for everyone!
Thanksgiving just ended, Christmas is coming up and New Years is just around the corner.
With everything going on, it’s very easy to get caught up in all the hustle and bustle and lose sight of the fun and meaning of the Holidays.
Sometimes it’s just nice to be more low key and simple with Christmas to really enjoy the Holidays.
If you are looking for a more simple Christmas, try out a few of these ideas:
Make some homemade decorations
- Homemade ornaments
- Popcorn Garland
- Christmas Paintings
- Christmas Wreath
Have family nights
- Christmas movie theme night (example: give your kids a “train ticket” to watch “Polar Express” while having hot chocolate)
- Read Christmas stories next to the tree
- Pile in the car and check out neighborhood Christmas lights
- Cook dinner as a family
Make Homemade gifts
- Hand scrubs
- Custom sign
- Jewelry
- Meal in a jar
Start making your own traditions
- Yearly Christmas family photo
- Christmas Letter
- Thankful Jar
- Family dinner with game (like white elephant gifts)
- Cookie and Hot Chocolate Party
Remember that the Holidays don’t have to be packed full of so much stuff that it quickly passes you by. Slow down, take time to make memories and enjoy keeping the Holidays simple!
