The holiday season is here!  If you are anything like me, I've already started making my list of things I want to do with my kids during this time!  We love the holidays!  We believe it's important to take time for friends and family during this time as well as some down time to truly appreciate the meaning of the season.  Make no mistake, Christmas is all about Jesus in our house.  It's a special time of the year and we love to celebrate it!  I thought it would be great to put together a list of things to do with your kids over the next few weeks!  Most of these are tried and true and things we have done with our own children!  

I've included links in most of these to help you get all the information you need!
