Keeping the Christmas Spirit suggestion of the day.

So, with only 2ish days till Christmas....and a very busy month behind us...I want to make sure that these few days leading up to Christmas are really special for us.
So...if you are looking for something simple, yet super inspiring this is what I suggest:

First, Gather blankets and pillows to cuddle up with on the floor (though James suggests cuddling on the couch next time, as tile is NOT comfy).
Second, Open your bucket of 3types of popcorn (yes, I know you have one, too!) or if you aren't as corny as me...pop your own popcorn or set out an easy festive treat.
And Last but not Least, Slip in a copy of The Nativity or Joy to the World to your DVD player...these are two video's released by the church and give AMPLE opportunity to discuss the first Christmas with children. The girls sat thru the entire thing, and have even asked to watch it again. They LOVED seeing baby Jesus and the Mo-Tab choir singing.
Merry Christmas Ü.

What a great idea!! That's cool that they liked it. And oh...that bucket of popcorn looks so good. Usually someone from the family gives that to us as a gift by now but I don't have one;( And I'm not about to go into a store now. Have some for me...Yum!!

Good idea! We've been doing the same thing except we have been watching The Polar Express with cheez-its!! Oh, yeah and our Love Sac has gotten a lot of use. I highly recommend y'all get one!!

So, I had Travis go get us a bucket of popcorn because all I oculd think about was cheese popcorn;) Travis couldn't find our Nativity one so we watched Polar Express and it was such a fun family night!! Love ya.
P.S. I hope Bella is feeling better;)
