Each day the boys and I have a small activity, project, or service planned through Christmas. Nothing spectacular or expensive. Lots of sugar involved and hopefully fun-filled time. Just moments of small things like “Cut Out Paper Snowflakes” and “Go to Barnes and Noble for a new Christmas book.” We’ve “Painted ornaments” and made “Special Holiday Chex Mix.”
Of course one of our first activities was to make a Nativity Scene.
One day it was “Create Marshmallow Snowmen.”
String a Paper Garland.
Bake and decorate cupcakes.
I can’t reveal all of the day’s activities because some of them are service projects and surprises for loved ones. But we are going to do the “Drive-thru Difference” and pay for someone else’s coffee one morning, if all works out “Deliver Sweets of Gratitude to the Fire Station,” and “Leave a treat for the Lawn Guys.”
Little projects.
Bits of time.
Lots of love.
(If you want the whole list I’ll email it to you.)

So inspiring to see you making time for the best things of the season: crafts, sweets and giving to others. I love your pictures of what you guys are up to. This is the best time of the year!
how fun. we have done a lot more this holiday season, but certainly not every day. I bet your boys are LOVIN' it!
you rock. and Jesus smiles watching!
very inspiring...read your blog and created a list of things to do as well. we started by making our marshmellow snowmen. Glad you are enjoying this holiday season. Great pics as always :)
What I LOVE about this, is that you could almst cut out hearts and write each one down as a present for Jesus. These are the little things that matter most to him this season that are warming HIS heart. I even think that if the snowman was given to a person in a Hospital, it would be considered great works of art, for it was given from the heart. Great job Mommy!
Great ideas!
