Christmas countDOWN a.k.a. The 2013 Zaman Christmas Bucket List
One month until Christmas...
To be honest, December is a bit of a tricky month to navigate for me. On one hand, it's easy to get overwhelmed by everything I think or feel I should do and forget the actual reason for Christmas. But, if I don't plan or prepare anything, December flies by and I am left kinda in a daze wondering how it can be that Christmas is over, and how I missed out on all the once-a-year traditions.
So in an effort to be organized, prepared & focused on the true meaning of Christmas, here is my Christmas bucket list for 2013
24. Buy & decorate a real tree
23. Buy Candy Cane Lane tea and drink as often as possible ;)
22. Make a NOEL for the mantle
21. Put together a Christmas Playlist
20. Cut out snowflakes and decorate with them
19. Watch as many Christmas movies as possible
Just a few on the must watch list are:
A Christmas Carol
It's A Wonderful Life
Love Actually
The Grinch Who Stole Christmas
The Holiday
Elf
Miracle on 34th Street
White Christmas
Holiday Inn
18. Buy and donate some toys & clothes for families in need in Calgary
17. Craft up some fun stocking stuffers
16. Go Christmas shopping (try not to stress about it)
15. Bake & decorate cookies
14. Pay for the the persons coffee behind me
13. Send out Christmas cards & creatively display the ones we receive
12. Give myself a Christmas mani & pedi
11. Hang a string of Christmas lights somewhere unexpected in the house
10. Deliver cookies to neighbors
9. Wrap Presents while listening to Christmas Carols
8. Take some Christmas pictures
7. Check out a Christmas Craft sale or Market

5. Go for a drive and look at the lights
4. Read the Christmas Story from Luke
