CIJ - day 2!
- Thread starter luludou
- Start date
I posted on my blog : a recipe, a craft & a joke. I will also try to work on a handmade gift a little more.
I am going to get out my collection of holiday children's picture books, read and go thru them. Maybe I will share my favorites over the month!
I did some blogging and I'm inviting a few friends over for a dinner on the 25th. I'll probably finish that up today. But tonight is all about Eclipse for me. So I won't get nearly as much done today as yesterday, but I do want to go work on my CIJ journal entry for today.
The kids are always bugging me that I only make certain kinds of treats at Christmas and why don't I ever make them during the year.
Good question.
Since it is raining and cool here, I am going to pick a treat that I only make at Christmas and make some today.
Won't they be surprised!!

Mel, that sounds like a great idea! What did you decide to make?
For me, I added a tiny snowglobe to my tiny tree on my desk.

Kim,
I made a new recipe - Chocolate Gingerbread Cake and I must have done something wrong because it was disgusting!! Had to throw it out.
Maybe I will stick with cookies.

I think I have a DD after my own holiday heart. I have not done anything overt yet for CIJ.
BUT.... out of the blue this afternoon my daughter did 2 things in totally in the holiday spirit.
1. She started talking about her elf- Ishka Bibble. She wants to write him a note and asked if he knew the St. Patrick's Day leprechaun.
2. She asked if she could have some hot apple cider or hot chocolate. No hot chocolate but I had 2 packets of cider left so I made her some. She was all smiley-smiley drinking it. I had some too!

I have a beautiful christmas book that I was given many years ago in which you write your own family's traditions. It is one of those fill in the blanks type of books. I will pull that down from the book shelf today along with all my other Christmas books. I think I will leave them out all month long.
Oooohhhhhh.... me too, sweetpumpkinpye!!! I want to leave my Christmas books out all year long too!!!!!
