A Few More Days

I cannot believe it but there are only 4 more days until Christmas! I do not believe how quickly the time has gone by, I am trying to soak up every moment until Christmas. There are still several things I want to accomplish before Christmas but thankfully I only have a few more presents to get. Since I have only been married a year and half we haven't formed many traditions yet but there are few things that we have started and some I want to add.
1. One of my favorites: Watch White Christmas and Holiday Inn, amongst the many other holiday movies we like to watch

2. Buy a new ornament-Check

3. Drive around and look at lights-Still need to do

4. Go to the mall - (I know that sounds silly but even though its a crazy time to go to the mall I really enjoy going and seeing all the holiday decorations and usually the really big tree in the middle of the mall)

5. Of course spend it with family, in which we will be headed to NM once again, can't wait :)

6. Make homemade coco, yum...

Well I guess that is it so far, there are so many more traditions I want to implement but we have plenty of years to add them ;)
For Example: I want to start doing an advent calendar until Christmas
I also want to get better at sending out Christmas cards, I am bad at that.
Every year I also want to make one new Christmas decor for my house.
And the most important I want to give back to the community and help with a charity. We should be doing that all year around but I defiantly want to keep the realization that Christmas is not just about receiving but giving!
Hope you all are enjoying your family traditions as the countdown until Christmas is coming to an end!
