It’s been warm enough to count as summer here for awhile, but for some reason mid-June has always felt like the ‘official’ start to summer for me.  Probably because during my middle school and high school years school always released around this time.  I guess I still have a case of “school’s out for the summer”.

There are a number of fun things to do through the holiday season.  Carols, hot cocoa, snuggling in new PJs while watching The Polar Express.  Growing up I was even lucky enough most winters to go on a real sleigh ride pulled by horses.  Sometimes the sleigh would even show up, like magic, at our house, driven by Santa.  I didn’t need much of a nudge to be in love with the holidays, but that certainly whispered some Christmas magic into a young girl’s ear.

I put together a December Bucket List with suggestions to make your holidays extra-fun.  Some of them might not be feasible in all parts of the country – building a snowman in Florida, for example, is a bit of a challenge.  Maybe you could make a sandman on the beach instead!  Whatever you choose to cross off from the list, the main point of this type of bucket list is just to have a good time and make some memories with your families.
