Christmas Bucket List

We're already making great progress on our Christmas season bucket list. It's te most wonderful time of the year! (Except for when it isn't, in which case I'm very sorry for what you are going through. There's no shame in feeling less than merry during a painful season. I just prayed for peace to wash over you and I really hope it does 💙)

We completed everything on our autumn bucket list except for the Christmas graphic novel for my kids. I just couldn't seem to make time for it! 

I did attempt to complete my silly autumn book bingo but I'm doubtful that I actually caught every mention. I found it to be an overall nuisance and I won't do it again!
