I thought it would be good to document the month of December. I created a "December Daily" album last year that I never used. This year, the work is done so....I will change the '08 to'09 and use it this year instead :)
My goal...to document each day of December with thoughts, words, and photos. Hopefully, this will motivate me to get back to blogging....which I really want to do :)
December 1st, 2009
We started a new tradition a couple of years ago. It's the "Christmas Book Elf". I got part of the idea from my friend Melissa Deakin. I then added the "elf" part.
So...today, Johnny woke up to a letter, a wrapped book, and the elf. He was excited. We read the book tonight.
A new tradition for this year is one I copied from a friend of mine. She uses a jar for each of her children. She fills the jar with 25 chocolate kisses. They get one each day.
I found small, inexpensive jars at Walmart, threw in some kisses for Johnny and Katie and some fruity tootsie roll things for Kellyn (she is not eating chocolate)...got to www.notforsale.org and find out more....slavery is big in the chocolate world.
I am a lover of tradition! Hopefully, some will carry on with the kids :)
