\"Countdown<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Just before Thanksgiving each year, our family prints out the following list of 67 Ways to Celebrate the Season<\/a>. We post it on our bulletin board for easy reference and use it to jog our memory concerning all the different activities and events we’ve enjoyed during Christmases past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The children helped me generate our original “Countdown to Christmas” list years ago, and we continue to add to it as we discover new traditions we want to make a part of our family’s holiday celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The list reminds us to enjoy small, simple pleasures<\/strong> that make this time of year so memorable for our little ones. We don’t try to do everything on our bucket list<\/strong>. That’s not the point. We just pick and choose<\/strong> whatever activities appeal to us or fit our schedules this year<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"67<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Try making a “Countdown to Christmas” List with your own family this year. You can use ours to get started or compile one of your own from scratch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
