Now that Thanksgiving is over I am ready to jump head first in the Christmas season. James & I want to make this the best Christams ever. This is not MATERIAL things I want but memories I hope to experience this season. EVERY YEAR Christams flies by and I feel empty. This year I am going to eat, live and breathe the jolly season!
1. Attend a Christmas wedding. I have a weakness for these and my dear friend is tying the knot December 3rd. It is going to be Ah-maz-ing!
2. Have my cake & eat it to. James & I celebrate our 3 year anniversary the 7th
3. Send out personalized cards on time! Last year we were sending out days before the big day.
4. Decorate our tree on turkey day.
5. Watch as many Christmas movies as possible
6. Visit the malls and NOT shop but enjoy the decorations
7. See a Christmas play or two.
8. Start a tradition
9.Make or buy monogram stockings. I am only so crafty so this may end up in a purchase.
10. Finish our Christmas shopping before December. I want to focus on the holidays not on meaningless thoughtless last mintue gifts. So spoiler alert everyone is getting gift cards. hello Black Friday!
11. Tacky Tour. In good ole RVA we have the tacky tour- a scenic route where you drive around and visit houses that are covered in lights. We always say we are going to this but never leave our own backyard to see the lights.
12. Visit Williamsburg and see my sister from another mother. Willamsburg is BEAUTIFUL during the holidays and it the perfect middle point for me and my college roommate who lives in Virginia Beach
13.See the deer. During Christmas the city is filled with beautiful decorated deer. It was a traditon during my childhood to drive down there and check out the deer.
14. Drink hot coccoa until I bleed it.
15. Give our tree a new look this year. We been doing blue, white & silver for 3 years now.
16. Go to Christmas Eve service. I especially like the midnight ones.
17. Make cookies-have a cookie party?
18. Make our home festive
19. Listen to Christmas Music. I usually don’t do this cause I don’t want to get tired of it but maybe I’ll listen to the mix we made for our wedding.
20. GIVE TO OTHERS in some way, time, money, gifts.

So lets get this holiday started and tell me what you plan on doing this Christmas season.
