Have you started celebrating the holiday season yet? Everything seems to be happening a little earlier this year and do be honest, I think people are just ready to celebrate after the past few years. Christmas trees are going up sooner, Christmas activities are occurring earlier, and people are most definitely shopping early.
One of our main goals this season is to really soak up as much time with our girls as possible. Life – busy life – seems to be back in full swing, but we’re refusing to miss the small moments with our girls. So in an effort to have more family time, we’re making a conscious effort to do a few things differently this year.
How To Ensure More Family Time During the Holidays:
PLAN MEMORABLE EVENTS:
First, we are planning some “bigger” events that are sure to make fun memories. Things like taking the girls to a Christmas concert, attending a Christmas show at one of the local churches, and hopefully riding a horse drawn sleigh to look at Christmas lights.
CREATE SMALL, MEMORABLE MOMENTS AT HOME:
Second, we are looking to make sure we have lots of smaller, more intimate moments and activities to do at home. Things like a Christmas scavenger hunt around the neighborhood, having hot cocoa and watching a Christmas movie on our projector outside, or even just reading holiday books. This past weekend we actually decorated cookie ornaments (that we found at Walmart) with the girls and hung them on our tree. I got this kit from Walmart and it was truly legit! The cookies were so easy for the girls to decorate and they hung up so easily.
FINISH HOLIDAY SHOPPING EARLY:
Lastly, we are trying to get all of our holiday shopping done as early as possible. We figure that if we can get our holiday shopping done, it will not only eliminate the possibility of unnecessary stress, but it will free up time. The time we would have spent shopping on the weekends will now be open for time with our girls.
Not only do we want to finish our shopping earlier, but we’re trying to do it efficiently as well. So far we’ve done most of it online and we plan to finish our shopping this week. There are always a lot of sales around Thanksgiving, but there’s one sale that will be the most helpful to us, and probably you, too!
In true fashion for the season, Black Friday sales are starting earlier this year. Walmart is having their “Deals for Days” sale this week from 11/22/21 at 7:00 PM ET through 11/27/2021. They are having REAL Black Friday deals now – before Friday! We already had some items flagged for the girls and their cousins like this Nintendo Switch and this hover board; because they have such a wide array of products and sales though, we’re actually going to be able to shop for multiple people on our list. I love a good one-stop-shop! I mean, who doesn’t like to save money shopping and time while shopping?
