Christmas Chain

This year we did a Christmas chain!

  We took a piece of the chain off every day, and then did what was written on it.  We started on Dec. 10th with 15 days until Christmas.

December 10—Go see the movie, Megamind

December 11—Hang Christmas lights in the kid’s rooms

December 12—Hang up a “Count Your Many Blessings” poster and write as many blessings as we can think of.

December 13—Decorate gingerbread men

December 14—Have a candlelight dinner with plastic stemware

December 15—Take a bubble bath

December 16—Drink hot chocolate with candy canes

December 17—Watch a Christmas movie and eat popcorn

December 18—Get a box of sugar cereal to eat all by yourself (everyone picked Lucky Charms)

December 19—Go on a drive and look at Christmas lights

December 20—Make red and green pancakes for breakfast

December 21—Make and decorate sugar cookies

December 22—Make Christmas tree ornaments

December 23—Mail letters to Santa in the Macy’s Department Store

December 24—Read the Christmas story/Open present from Grandma and Grandpa Hancock

Another thing that we did that was so much fun was go through the Carl’s Jr. drive through and pay for the car behind us.  The man behind us bought a burrito that cost $1.69…it didn’t cost a lot, but I hope my kids learned something about the Christmas spirit!  It was so fun being sneaky with them!

I really enjoyed doing the paper chain and definitely think we’ll do it again next year!
