Holiday Bucket List

Thanksgiving week is here, and I am ready for the holiday season to begin! The bigger my littles become, the more fun I think the holidays are, and I am very excited about doing many fun holiday things. I made a little holiday bucket list, so that I would not forget something in the holiday bustle. (Last year, I forgot that I had already bought Christmas cards the year before on sale...what a happy surprise this year to find them.) And so, here it is...
----------

Dmitri's holiday cards that he has been working so hard on creating!

Fun with roving!

Caroline’s Holiday Bucket List

-Make homemade hot cocoa (and it was so easy and delicious, we have made it twice this week!)
-Watch a Christmas movie with the family
-Apple. Cider.
-Hang a star in the window
-Mail Christmas cards to friends and family
-Hang a holiday wreath
-See Christmas lights!
-Make Gingerbread Houses (I think I'm going to try Rice Crispy Treat houses with my favorite peanut butter & brown rice syrup recipe)
-Sugar cookies. A Christmas tradition. (I use this recipe).
-Create snow globes with Dmitri (there are a million tutorials on Pinterest)
-Put the very first present under the tree the day we get our Christmas tree  (The book: Mr. Willoughby’s Christmas Tree. That way, we can read it all holiday season long. And it's such a cute book.)
-Hang stockings by the fireplace
-New Christmas pajamas and a special Christmas book: our Christmas Eve tradition
-Cinnamon rolls for breakfast on Christmas morning!

What are you excited about this holiday season? Any favorite Christmas movies you would recommend? Favorite traditions?

I came across a tutorial to make one's own home-made bath bombs and I thought of you! Is that something you'd be interested in experimenting with and writing about? :)

I love that snowflake art idea! I will have to put that on my holiday to-do list as well!
