How I Spent Christmas Eve
While the guys were hunting today, I’ve been busy with the girls. We’ve premade cookie dough for them to make later and mixed up some extra brown sugar for gifts. Then I went and searched my book shelf for books I haven’t read yet, picked 12 and wrapped them up to have a “Year of Books Challenge” for 2025. Each month I’ll open a “new” read and the challenge is to actually get through the paperback 😂 I struggle so bad with making myself pause to actually flip the pages of book instead of using the kindle or listening to the audio. #reading #readingchallenge #mysterybooks #christmaseve
Christmas Eve is a magical time filled with joy, laughter, and cherished traditions. One creative way to enhance your celebration is by engaging in baking sessions with loved ones. Preparing cookies, making homemade gifts like flavored sugars, or even crafting gingerbread houses can create lasting memories and delicious treats. Additionally, consider starting a reading challenge that spans the year ahead. This could involve selecting a diverse range of books covering different genres, ensuring there's always something new to dive into each month. For those who struggle to find time to read, setting aside specific times for reading can make a significant difference. Utilize cozy evenings during the festive season to unwind and lose yourself in a good book. Moreover, as you celebrate Christmas Eve, it's an excellent opportunity to reflect on the past year and set intentions for the upcoming year. Share your resolutions or reading goals with friends and family, making the occasion even more interactive and enjoyable. With a blend of creativity and reflection, your Christmas Eve can transform into a heartfelt celebration that resonates well beyond the holiday.
