Happy Monday, friends. Due to the fact that my time for the blog today was running low, I decided to create somewhat of a fun post. Something that I haven't really done in awhile. Because Christmas is my favorite holiday, I always have quite the list of fun things I want to do in December. And so here is just a little glimpse into my December bucket list of fun... 1) Have a snowball fight. 2) Drink hot apple cider and watch the snow fall. 3) Have a gingerbread house decorating contest. 4) Watch lots of Christmas movies. 5) Bake and decorate Christmas cookies. 6) Have a dance party to some great Christmas music. ("Come on Christmas" by Matthew West is our preferred song of the season!) 7) Spend a day Christmas shopping. 8) Decorate the Christmas tree together. 9) Try a seasonal drink at Starbucks. 10) Write a Christmas story. Sounds like fun, right? It certainly is. And aside from my list of fun to celebrate this special season, I also have a more serious bucket list. A list of things I want to do to remember this season forever. Here are those: 1) Pack an Operation Christmas Child Shoe Box. 2) Give a smile to someone. 3) Read an advent devotional. 4) Tell someone the gospel and about the little Baby born in the stable for us. 5) Buy warm gloves and scarves to give to the homeless on the street corner. 6) Donate stuffed animals to a homeless shelter for children. 7) Surprise someone with an early Christmas gift. 8) Perform a Christmas song at church that gives hope to those who listen. 9) Go Christmas caroling and with every carol sung, remind those listening that Jesus loves them. 10) Spend more time with my family. What are some of your fun or more serious December bucket list ideas? Share in the comments below!

Loved this! Some things I want to do this Christmas season are: upload at least one Christmas music video to YouTube, send out Christmas cards with Bible verses (especially to unsaved friends/family), make a yummy dessert, give someone a gift I ordinarily wouldn't give to, and a few other things.

That's an awesome list, Grace!! :D Were you able to do any of the things you hoped for but weren't sure you'd get to do? :)

Sadly, no I didn't get to do any of those things :( But that's ok. Maybe next year :)

I love your lists! All of those are such wonderful things! :D I actually don't have a Dec. bucket list to tell you the truth, I really need to start doing those! I've been doing fun things though, and we're going to decorate your gingerbread house soon! I LOVE Christmas! :D

I'm hoping to write a Christmas story this week. ;) If you write one, will you post it? :D Love your lists, Bella!

Aw thanks Maria! <3 Did you write your story? :D And unfortunately I didn't get to write one, but maybe I'll just write a general story and post it sometime, since I've never put fiction on here :) 12/16/2017 02:06:12 am
I love this, Bella! I don't have a whole lot on my list--mostly just listen to a lot of good music and relax and write a Christmas story. :) I loved seeing yours, though! That's so cool that you can actually have a real snowball fight!

This is so fun, Bella dear! Thank you for sharing your ideas! Oh, some friends of ours once hosted a gingerbread house decorating contest! It was so fun!! ;) What fun it was to see everyone's creative juices flowing! We have a pretty full week, Lord willing, of Christmas caroling (if we don't get rained out! :\ :), Christmas partying with friends, getting together with family, baking...such a fun time of year! :)
