Welcome December

 

We took our granddaughter to the Enchanted Forest at the Rosholt Fair Grounds in Rosholt, WI.  What a charming experience.  There were dozens of decorated trees.  Some from local clubs, organizations, businesses and some with themes.  I really enjoyed looking at all of them.  The fair grounds have beautiful, huge pine trees that add to the winter wonderland feel.  December gets "busy" and filled with "things" to do.  Try to remember to slow it down and enjoy the reason for the season.  

Here are a few things I plan to enjoy doing the month of December:  

1. Reading "his" story again.  Reflecting on the "gift" this season represents.  

2.  Cutting boughs and making my own "wreath" etc.

3.  Making some homemade gifts.  

4.  Cleaning, deep cleaning, of house so I can totally decorate.  I plan to do a virtual tour on December 23 at 7 pm.  Follow along if you want here:  Very Merry Virtual Tour

6.  We challenged our 4H club with "act of kindness" in lieu of having a monthly meeting and party.  Like I said, everyone is so busy.   Here are a few ideas that you may want to try.

7.  Candy making day with Ezra.  Cookie decorating with Lauren.  

8.  An intentional "vacation" from my self-employment.  

9.  Bring back a few decorating ideas from the past.

10.  Take a "break" from all the "viewing" and "comparing" of what other's have accomplished....yes, it can steal my joy.  In fact, I'm working on a - I don't know what to call it - series of posts - "How To Be Happy For You and Me Too."  I struggle with this.  

Do you have any plans for December?
