Happy December 1st! If there were a prize for “most exciting” month of the year, I’d have to give it to December. The anticipation builds after Thanksgiving and then a month long celebration starts, preparing for Christmas Day. There are school performances, parties and shopping but each year I try to keep it also about advent and family time. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle and have December seem “too busy”. Last year, we switched our Advent calendar from candy to this (click here) and it was really special. It took minutes to make and made a world of difference in the mood of the house. This year my big kids are really into calendars and bucket lists SO I came up with a special December calendar geared towards time with family. We may all have different parties to attend, different school functions and mom might have many (many!) gifts to wrap but this gives us a way to focus on doing something together each day this month. This free printable December family calendar is like a Christmas bucket list. Enjoy the month with your family!
