christmas is only twelve days away! we’ve already checked off most of our christmas countdown activities like zoo lights, picking and decorating a tree, drinking hot cocoa, making gingerbread houses, and cutting out snowflakes and hanging them on our windows. all that’s left for us is pictures with santa and some urgent last minute christmas shopping. it’s a wondrous time of the year, but with so many activities, it’s also incredibly exhausting (and hard on the wallet!). but tis the season to be jolly! hope everyone is having a joyous holiday season!
