25 Days of Christmas Ideas

0

I’ve always wanted to do a special “25 days of Christmas” for my kids, but have never gotten around to doing it. Have you done this before?

I think about it around the beginning or middle of November and it seems like a great idea, but then December 1st gets here and I have nothing planned, so I scrap the whole idea. What can I say? Being the mom of small children can be exhausting!

However, now that my children are approaching 3 and 6, it’s looking much more manageable! My plan is to use a small toy mail box I bought earlier this year and each morning have a special note inside with our daily activity printed on it. That seems simple enough, right? We’ll see how it goes!

Things may look a little different this year due to COVID, but I’m determined to still enjoy the holidays with my little ones. Most of these ideas are completely feasible to do at home, while safely social distancing. If your family is comfortable venturing out, there are some ideas on here for you too!

Here are a few ideas I’ve thought about trying this year.
