Readying for the Christmas/New Year Holidays

 How will you celebrate Christmas, New Year and/or other winter holidays? What will you do? I like the light and cheer that the holidays bring to the winter months. One big challenge for me is keeping my energy strong throughout the holiday season so we can enjoy the best the season offers. We'll celebrate with a number of enjoyable events including hikes, parties, adventures, games, good food and more. 

Good Food

Similar to holidays past, our guests and family members ate the healthy food more than the sweets so I'll err on the side of making many healthy foods for the holiday season.

Decorations

We have a couple boxes of well loved decorations that we'll take down from the attic and place around the home. 

Christmas Tree

We found a tree farm that we like that's not too far away--we'll choose a tree soon, bring it home and decorate. 

Clean the House

We'll give the house another good clean prior to the Christmas celebrations.

Adventures

We'll plan new hikes and adventures to add to the holiday fun.

Games

I'll ask the game experts in our family to lead us in some fun, new games.

Karaoke

We'll power up our new karaoke machine and hopefully try it out soon--this is new for most of us. 

Creativity

Hopefully we'l add some creativity to our holiday celebrations too by making ornaments, gingerbread houses, new foods and more.

Happiness and Good Cheer

Most of all it is important to bring happiness and good cheer to the holiday season.
