Comments on: Life List: Squeeze all the juice out of the 2012 holiday season. http://mightygirl.com/2012/11/05/holidays-lets-do-this-thing/ Famous Among Dozens Tue, 18 Jun 2013 17:56:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Nancy R http://mightygirl.com/2012/11/05/holidays-lets-do-this-thing/#comment-1256344 Nancy R Fri, 09 Nov 2012 02:20:36 +0000 http://mightygirl.com/?p=21393#comment-1256344 I second the earring suggestion- Etsy has nice, inexpensive pieces, and it might be worthwhile to search advent calendar while there. Also, our local independent toy store has small animals and magnets that would be fun too. Think on what interests her most- what small things go with that. (fishing lure for someone who likes to fish, golf ball marker for a golfer). Don't forget the everyday stuff- extra bus tokens, lip balm...

If your significant other likes jewelry - several would be fun for a charm bracelet. Or perhaps just a single one for a necklace.

My DD doesn't seem to mind, except for the one that says to choose some old toys to donate. For me, Christmas is not Christmas unless I've done some baking. Specifically, cut-out cookies. They're NOT beautiful, but they're FUN. Last year we invited one of DD's friends who had NEVER made cut-out cookies before - she was OVER THE MOON. So, from now on, I want to make cut-out cookies with company!

The single lady stocking swap is a great idea. Personally, I definitely cannot miss a carol service, I have to start my Christmas cake on Stir-up Sunday and always ensure to donate toys somewhere. Also, I haven't received my invite yet and just got pathetically excited to see an email from Go Mighty in my inbox, and it's about the election. I'm British. Sigh.

There are the exciting events of visiting our favorite Christmas train display, the park with all the Christmas lights, visiting the aquarium's holiday display, etc. But also more quiet events like watching a Christmas special, making dinner for our neighbors, making birdseed ornaments for our friends outside, and making Christmas cookies. The kids love the month of activities. Like Rebecca we do an activity advent calendar for the kids.
