Every year the kids write a letter to Santa asking him for gifts that they'd like to receive. We have this ongoing "joke" at our house, whenever the kids ask me what I want I almost always say the same thing of "one million dollars".

I am well aware that not everyone does the Santa thing. I for one, do. I believe Christmas was magical for me because of all the Santa... Continue Reading →
Every year we start off the Christmas season by decorating the house. We decorate the inside as well as the outside. This year wasn't any different. We had our decorations up by Thanksgiving. Usually, before the Christmas season, I make an advent calendar with activities for each day leading up to Christmas. This year, I... Continue Reading →
