I've been listening to Christmas tunes for over a month at this point... I've done the majority of my Christmas shopping before Halloween even came to pass. And the house has been decorated for weeks. Yes, weeks. As always I have a hundred and one ideas for the holiday season. This year is no exception.
- Visit Santa and Elizabeth Farms.
- Keep up on my red glitter nail polish each and every day tradition.
- Dutch Winter Wonderland. At least once, to say our official goodbye to DW.
- Shed a tear at Letty's Christmas Program at school.
- Oh how I am so looking forward to Strasburg Railroad Santa's Paradise Express. So excited.
- Celebrate Dominic's First Birthday! A party full of festive buffalo plaid and food. And drink.
- We will need to up the ante on Elf on the Shelf. David has been asking questions. Can't pull the wool over that boy's eyes.
- Write Santa a letter.
- Run the first annual Santa 5k! In a Santa suit no less!
- Polar Express Party baby!
- Live Nativity. I have put this off for far too long and this year I want to go to the original one. Last year's was a disaster.
- Maybe finally do a breakfast with Santa? Or see the Manheim Tree Lighting?
- Our Christmas movie line up is intense. White Christmas. Home Alone 1 and 2. Elf. The Santa Clause. Fred Claus. Scrooged. Holiday Inn. Four Christmases. The Holiday. How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Mickey's Christmas Carol. Rudolph. Frosty the Snowman. Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Christmas Vacation. All of it.
- Family cookie baking day! How my mother loves this day!
- Gingerbread houses, always a good time.
- Christmas Lights Driving Tour, which may prove difficult what with a one year old. But we will of course attempt it.
- More birthdays! My dad's 60th is this year, as well as my sister's... and my Steph's.
- Oh the dreaded Christmas photo attempt. But as always we will succeed!
- Live it up at my parent's whatever annual Christmas Eve Party!
- Have an Olsen Christmas. Have a Trovato Christmas.
Oh the things that we shall do!
