A few updates to my Christmas journal. I’m not doing a very good job keeping up to date with it, but I’m having fun with the pages that I’m doing.
This one is for prompt #8:
I feel pretty dumb about the way I spelled “Sights” in the title. I didn’t notice until I’d finished the page, photographed it, uploaded it to Flick and it had been sitting around for awhile. I’m so used to writing the word “sites” because I work on web sites all day, that that’s my reflexive spelling now I guess. I also forgot to put my cute little number tag on it. Dang.
This is what the journaling says:
Apparently, our house turns red at Christmas:
- Bell wreath on the inside of our door
- red stockings
- the little tree on the mantle
- cute, festive husband
- Wyatt in red from head to toe (but what else is new?)
- red berry wreath on the front door
- Christmas gifts in pregress
- gingerbread house
- Christmas books up from the basement
- our lone card from the gardeners
This one is for prompt #9, Traditions:
Journaling reads:
- getting together with Zach’s family before leaving for Iowa to exchange gifts and share a meal
- traveling to Iowa for the holiday
- white chili on Christmas Eve
- opening stockings first thing Christmas morning (when I was a kid and even now as an adult)
- one big present from Santa under the tree
- Christmas Eve get-together at Mom and Dad’s with any extended family who are in town
- setting up the tree with Wyatt while Christmas music plays
- one big weekend of holiday cookie baking
- cookies for Santa, corn for his reindeer
