I had hoped to share this post two weeks ago, but alas, my work schedule interrupted playtime, which includes blogging. Though it is late in coming to you, let's talk about three things you can do in May to prepare for next Christmas.
Not sure what it is like for you this time of year, but it has been crazy as all get out over here. Getting the Wilmington house ready for the summer season, celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, attending year-end activities for dance, and finalizing preparations for our daughter's June wedding. So, this month, instead of focusing on tasks, let's talk about three things to do to keep the Christmas spirit alive despite the crazy time of year it is for many of us.
Host a Christmas movie night

Thank goodness for streaming services, because it is now easier than ever to get a healthy dose of Christmas movies. Get your friends or family together and binge some holiday movies to inspire decorating ideas, craft ideas, menu ideas, and more!
Take some fun family photos
With so many people sending photo holiday cards these days, why not try an off-season family photoshoot? Using your favorite restaurant, outdoor space, or vacation spot as a backdrop, take out your camera and get some fun family photos. Adding a Santa hat or a scarf with mittens will make it feel Christmasy. But even if you take photos in your bathing suit at the beach, just think of all the wonderful memories you will make.
Plan a holiday game night
Remember when you came up with those new party game ideas last month? Check out the post
here. Now is a great time to try them out with the family or a small friend group. What better way to capture that holiday spirit?
Try these ideas and let us know how they turned out.
