The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 12

Today our special thing was to pull out some of our Christmas books. We love our Christmas books. I did not bring all of them out today. I decided this year we would bring out some of them and then later bring out more as we have so many. I think this will work well. After a week I think I will add another bucket or two of books. I really should have done this a little earlier and I am not sure why I’m so late, but we will still get a lot read.

This evening my daughter, Megan, took us to look at Christmas lights. She knew a really good place to go and asked if we wanted to go with her so we got hot chocolate and rode around for about an hour and a half. It was a lot of fun and added a little extra to our special thing for the day.

Also, these are the little cottages I got at the antique mall on Saturday when we went. I think they are really cute – just haven’t decided where to put them yet.

The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 11

Today our special thing was an easy one. We took our jars of candy to the McDonald’s up the street. We always take candy to them at Christmas. We will also have to go back tomorrow morning as we like to take the candy to both shifts. We mainly order there in the morning as Sarah loves a biscuit in the morning, but occasionally the afternoon or evening. So, we went to to give the candy to the workers and while we were there we bought ice cream sundaes for everyone. We brought the ice cream home so the kids could eat it while I read to them – still reading The Christmas Doll. We will finish the book in the morning.

It was a nice Sunday. The kids had a birthday party for Jesus at church with lots of stuff to eat so, of course, they had a great time. We ran a few errands and I took Bethany Christmas shopping. She has almost finished her shopping, but so many have not. They will finish this week, hopefully. It was a good day.

Oh, I almost forgot. When we took the candy to McDonald’s we saw a trolly car that gave tacky light tours. They always look like they would be so much fun to ride on.
