Getting it all started

Decorating for Christmas is one of my favorite
things to do to get the season into full swing.
We have some fun traditions that we like to do
with the kids and they have really
gotten use to doing year after year...
1. Turning on Christmas music to get you in the mood
2. Going through all the Christmas bins to find all of our holiday stuff
3. Making hot chocolate and putting whip cream on top
(the kids each take a turn getting their months filled up also)
4. Wrapping the tree in lights
5. Covering the tree in ornaments, staying up all night till the job is done.
(So far Ben and I are the only ones who make it that long)!
This is one of the best parts about Christmas, doing this as a kid was always so much fun. Doing it with my children is more fun then I ever thought it could be. I love watching them put the ornaments in the same place over and over again, till that poor little branch can take another one. I love watching them over fill the tree stand and your just that much more thankful that you got the one that has the spill lip at the bottom.
