I am trying to start some new traditions this year. I LOVE Christmas so much. And December is one of my favorite months- especially if it is cold outside!! Bring on the snow please. So I have come up with a list of christmas traditions I would like to start or continue in our home.
- Find the perfect tree, decorate together, and have a sleepover in the living room that night.
- Have a Christmas themed “paint night“. Eventually making a book of all our paintings throughout the years.
- Record a Christmas song single together.
