Great list of ideas! I just made a wreath for our front door last week. Maybe this weekend we’ll make gingerbread houses. 😁

With such an extensive list on our hands, we are sure to keep busy this holiday. Lots of great ideas here. I’m currently working on filling out Christmas cards and will be sending them off soon. A festive picnic in your house sounds like great fun, I need to do that with the family this week.

Good list. I’ll probably be doing more of #31 than the others.

These are all really fantastic ideas for Christmas. I’m looking forward to a finished semester so I can actually do some of these things with my family.

Great list! Our family loves driving around to look at Christmas lights and decorating the house. I also love attending Christmas eve candlelight church services although probably will not be doing that this year. You have given me some great ideas for different activities this year! Thanks so much for posting!

This is a great list – there are some items on here that I haven’t done for years and for no good reason either! It’s not that they are challenging or expensive, I just haven’t made the time. For example, I can’t remember the last time that I made paper snowflakes. That clearly needs to change this year!
