Making Memories with Your Family This Christmas
We are a few weeks into our advent season, relishing the short and thoughtful readings from All Creation Waits and Unearthing Wonder, and the way these readings are highlighting the beauty of simplicity (share your #unearthingwonder advent images for a chance to be featured on our Instagram feed!).
I used the free Christmas planning sheet that we sent out via e-mail to decide which handcrafts, baking, gifts, and activities we wanted to focus on so that I didn’t get overwhelmed with too many expectations.
It’s easy to see all the amazing crafts and decor online and think that we need to do it all to make Christmas magical, but the most magical thing for our children is our attentive presence. I focus on a few special traditions, done with love, and then I put the blinders on so I can enjoy my children instead of constantly feeling that I should be doing more.
If you need a few ideas, games, and recipes to enjoy with your children, check out our Christmas and Holiday Guides!
And in the meantime here are a few more posts you might enjoy as you prepare and enjoy this holiday season.
What are some of your favorite memories and traditions during this time? We would love to hear!
