My parents and siblings called it a truce on exchanging presents and instead decided to take the yuck out of Christmas for a family we know. So our Christmas list had 4 things on it.
We won't be putting Christmas Dinner on a credit card and paying for that dinner long after (well you know where food goes), cause we met Dave Ramsey a long time ago.
We are planning to eat finger foods and hang with my sister the week before Christmas so she can actually enjoy Christmas and not spend most of it driving.
Don't get me wrong we will still be going to multiple locations on Christmas Day and eating tons of food but a couple steps to make it more simple is going to make it better.
What will be in our Christmas?
- Jesus (I like to add a shocking statement to all my blogs)
- Christmas Eve with Waters Edge
- Cookies! We baked cookies with some of our new favorite kids this weekend and my student group is having a baking night this week. (Baking night with 20 7th graders might be on the bad idea list, I will let you know)
- Elf and National Lampoon Christmas to kick off the season, Clark is one of my favorite relatives.
- Old Friends: I love seeing my old friends that come back into town for Christmas. I love that no matter how much our daily lives change we can go right back to when we had braces and horrible fashion.
- Jamey time: I love hanging out with Jamey and doing nothing. We have a couple of days off after Christmas and usually one of them is spent doing a whole lotta nothing.
