![]() ![]() ![]() I want the lead-up to Christmas to be full of parties and merriment and festivities, but also have a quiet and reflective element to it as well. (My belief is that fun is not separate from spiritual, but I think you know what I mean, right?) I will do the same this year, but now that Levi is nearly three I’m also excited to introduce more of a purposeful ‘spiritual’ focus as well. We are Christmasafying everything.Īlthough we have an Advent “calendar” that I’ve done for several years already (need 150+ Advent activity ideas?), I’ve mostly used it for fun family activities and little chocolates. And although I put up a few personal ‘boundaries’ around my zeal (ie no Christmas music and movies until Thanksgiving), I begin thinking about Christmas months in advance.Įverything about Christmas gets to me – the faith aspect, the festivities, the traditions, the gathering of loved ones, and the fact that so many people around the world share a similar focus during this one special time of year.īefore Thanksgiving I usually set some plans in place (like how to de-clutter the house before Christmas), but it’s not until after our Day of Thanks that I unabashedly move into Christmas Mode. I am a shameless Christmas LOVER (all caps utterly necessary). ![]()
