25 Days of Christmas

Mr. Hunt and I decided to not get each other gifts this year for Christmas. Although we said that for our anniversary too and he still got me a one year anniversary ring. Hopefully he wont be sneaky again and follow the rules.
We have been spending alot of money on Baby Jane. I was always told that babies are expensive, but never imagined she would be this expensive before she even got here. Not to mention the hospital bills we are about to pay. I'm not complaining though, Id pay 10 times more money to have this baby.
So, instead of gifts, I decided that I still wanted to be in the holiday spirit, so I put together a 25 Days of Christmas thing for Mr. Hunt and I. He didn't know about it until a few days before December and he didn't plan any of it, but its still a "gift" for the both of us since we are doing all the activities together.
Of course since Mr. Hunt still has to go to work during the week days, some of the things are small evening things, but most all of them are festive and holiday related.

There are movie nights filled with the best Christmas movies with popcorn, hot chocolate, and a fun dessert made by me. There are big activity days where we leave the house and do something like drive around and see the lights, or go attend a Christmas function downtown. There are stay at home activities like decorating the tree while listening to Christmas music, and game night. And lastly, there is compliment day where I just wrote out why I'm grateful for Mr. Hunt. OK, compliment day isn't really a "gift" for me, but it still makes me happy to remind him of why he is so special to me and how thankful I am for him.

I'm super excited for our 25 Days of Christmas, I may even make it a tradition. We are well aware that Jane might decide that she wants to be one of the activities and come early which would prevent us from doing some of the other activities, but that's OK with us.....we wont be upset. Actually, this year, this 25 Days of Christmas thing is almost like a little distraction for us. We are hoping the days will fly by.

Tonight is movie night. We are watching Christmas Vacation and A Charlie Brown Christmas. Some of the movie nights we have two movies since some of hte movies are short like A Charlie Brown Christmas.

TIS THE SEASON!

Love,
Jennifer
