Christmas Bucket List

During my Pinterest searching I found a few clever Advent calendars and Christmas counts downs. I really liked the idea of counting down the days with the kids, but there wasn’t one that was really perfect for me. I saved a few to a Christmas board and decided to create my own 25 Days of Christmas Countdown.

I saved about 3-5 Christmas Countdowns on Pinterest. After getting some great ideas, I put together my own list. I wanted a combination of family activities, simple crafts and ways of giving back. I didn’t put them in any specific order at first. I just jotted down my 25 ideas.

Then I sorted through the ones that required me to buy things and made my purchases. I wanted to make sure they would arrive in time for each activity. Once I organized my daily activities, I used a poster board to create my count down. I wanted to hang it on the wall for the kids to see and check off each day until Christmas.

I can’t wait for them to see it! I will definitely be posting pictures on Instagram of our Countdown!
