3. Celebrate Alyssa's birthday on 12/8.
4. Make Hot Cocoa with Candy Canes.
5. Date night with Chad (sans kids).
6. Make Cookies In A Jar for teachers.
7. Holiday notes in backpacks.
8. Make Christmas cookies with Mama (tradition).
9. Family movie night with Scrooge (our favorite is with Albert Finney as Scrooge) and popcorn.
10. Spa Day for me (perfect right around the 21st).
11. Complete another year of December Daily.

A few favorite traditions. A few new ideas. And not over committing. Perfect.

Setting aside a special night without the kids is always something to look forward to...but after the kids leave the nest you want 'em back. How silly are we humans? LOL

My 13 is notations of a special holiday song...how long will it take you to figure out what song it is? You'll need to scroll down a bit below my Thursday Thunks to find my 13 --they are posted if you'd like to stop by for a visit today....HERE

Have a great Thursday.

I'm also doing the Holiday in Hand and December Daily, I checked out your December Daily album that you had a link to, I loved it!

I love how you did your list. I've been trying to figure out how to go about using the prompts without "committing" to doing/making certain things on certain days, because...well...my life is more fluid than that (if it makes any sense). I love how you didn't pick something for every day, that some days are "set in stone", that some days have guidelines for when they'll fit in.... Wonderfully fluid!

I just love this time of year. With all of the Christmas themed T13's today, I am starting to get excited. Soon it will be time to decorate too! I can't wait.

Happy T13!

The spa day on the 21st is inspired.
