The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 12

Today our special thing does not sound very exciting. We decided to finish wrapping everything we had in the house and any packages delivered today. We did that and it was a lot of wrapping. The girls wrapped all of theirs and helped with mine, too. We also decided after we did all the wrapping we would try to pick up a lot of the Christmas mess we had all over the place. We got a lot of that done so we accomplished quite a bit. And the house felt nicer. It was actually kind of fun to listen to Christmas music and a bunch of us wrap together. Added to that, Bethany did make some fudge and Rice Krispies treats. It was actually a very nice day and our simmering potpourri smelled so good all day long – better than yesterday. So, not a very exciting day, but we accomplished much. I’m just posting package pictures to give an idea of how many we have wrapped.

The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 11

Today the girls were going to finish making snowflakes and then hang them, but it was so dark and rainy that we decided to have another movie day and make simmering potpourri. The movie was Christmas Manger. We ran out and bought cranberries, oranges, lemons, cinnamon sticks, cloves and nutmeg. We mixed it up in a crockpot and it took a couple of hours, but it smelled so good. Made our home smell and feel like Christmas. It was a nice day and I love rainy days so extra nice for me.
