It rained pretty hard here yesterday, and snowed heavily in the local mountains, and it sort of officially put me in hibernation mode. Well, temporarily I guess, since this isn’t really the best time to be entering into this sort of mode. While 98% of my Christmas shopping is complete (still need to get Harper’s teacher and the classroom aid a gift… and a few stocking stuffers) I still feel as if there are so many holiday things we have left to do… bake the sugar cookies we couldn’t get to last weekend (we’ve been making these since I was a little kiddo), take Harper to see the Nutcracker (it’s going to be a girl’s outing with my sister, mom, and grandma this Sunday), wrap some gifts, get to all of our holiday movies we love, etc… All fun things, but this rain really makes you want to curl up and do absolutely nothing… anyone else?? So, I guess it’s a good thing that there isn’t any rain on the agenda until next Wednesday….
But with our upcoming winter break approaching in just a few (2, not including today, but who’s counting???….) I’ve compiled a few of our holiday favorites in case you’re looking for a new playlist, a good Christmas movie to watch, or a book to lose yourself in while cuddled up by the fire….
