100 Days Til Christmas!

Years ago at an enrichment night, we were all talking about different Christmas traditions. What our families do or have done over the years. One lady had mentioned that her family every year has a 100 days til christmas party. They turn on their fireplace, play some Christmas music and talk about the upcoming holiday. I always liked this tradition and since I LOVE the whole season from fall through New Years, I thought this sounded like a fun way to start the season.
Finally this year I actually remembered the date of when we would reach the 100 day mark. So this year we were able to have our little mini celebration. We each put on our Christmas shirts (except Kenlee, she doesn't have one yet), we made hot chocolate, put on Christmas music, and watched The Polar Express while we drank. Kenlee LOVED the part of the movie where they sang the Hot Chocolate song. She kicked her legs and waved her arms all around while it was on. The kids got into the evening as well. They even brought down their mini christmas trees to add to the festivity. The kids also got started on their lists of what they would like for Christmas (I know, already?). It will be nice to carry this tradition next year with Jake here.
