A few fun projects over Christmastime.  We made gingerbread men, hot chocolate, Christmas countdown chains, and felt nativity scenes.  We had living room picnics with peppermint tea, sang ALL THE CHRISTMAS SONGS, read ALL THE CHRISTMAS BOOKS, and delivered goodies to neighbors and gate guards.  We did our Jesse Tree again, read the Christmas story on repeat, and practiced joy.  It was a cozy, happy month.
