I just love Christmas time!  Our elf Olivia has been busy keeping watch over the kids. They are definitely trying to be extra good now that she is watching their every move.  None of them want her to give Santa a bad report. :)  So with the extra help, I spent the weekend adding finishing touches to our home decorations for the holidays.   I just need some twinkly lights, soft glowing candlelight, and fresh balsam garland to make me holiday happy!  I also found a lot of inspiration on Pinterest.   I'd love to hear how you have been spending your days this December.

BTW, I was at Trader Joe's the other day and they had fresh boxwood wreaths for $9.99 just like the one on the black door above.  What a steal-yippee!

1. Make Christmas Cookies With The Kids.

Check out the cookies we made last year here.

My recipe for sugar cookies is here.

2. Make Hot Chocolate and Watch Christmas Movies.

I love this skinny recipe.

We love watching Home Alone, Elf, and It's A Wonderful Life.

3. Decorate the house so that it reminds me of a cozy winter cottage.

I love this pillow and this garland from Pottery Barn.

4. Dinner With The Family At The Walnut Room Downtown.

Our annual tradition is to go to dinner and sit by the tree and then visit Santa at Macy's.

5. Make this Roasted Red Pepper Soup 

and have many warm dinners with family and friends.

I love this time of year because it brings us together.  It's a time for sharing and giving and counting our blessings.  I'd love to hear some of your December must-dos in the comments section below.
