holidays in hand {assignments 1 thru 3}

now that i can get back on the site, i was able to look at the three assignments associated with *day 1*.

assignment 1:
in addition to our values, we are supposed to write goals that we have associated with the holiday season.

here are a few goals of mine:
 ~ start new traditions with coleman, while continuing existing traditions
 ~ get organized with a plan so that we all can enjoy the season
 ~ increase the focus on Christ in our celebrations

assignment 2:
we are supposed to commit to spend twenty minutes every single day in december to recording, writing, photographing, savoring, printing, gluing, scrapbooking, remembering, or slowing down. at first it seems a bit intimidating. every single day??? but if you look at what she's talking about... i probably do this anyway. it'll be fun to take it on as a challenge, though.

assignment 3:
organize. she provided this link as a good place to start: organized christmas. i've only spent a few minutes on this site and i'm in love. not just organization, but just super cute ideas. their six-week organization plan actually starts at the end of october. i need to remember that next year!
