What's in store for December....Fun Fun Fun!

This year I am changing things up a bit. We are traveling to Four different countries for the Month of December and finding how others celebrate the Christmas Holiday. You can find a great program over at Living Life Intentionally for celebrating Christmas Around the World. We are using a portion of this great program in conjunction with our Little Passports. Typically we will learn about 1 country per month with Little Passports but since I have so many country packs already I am incorporating these two programs together!

I have picked the following countries to explore:

China

Mexico

Argentina

India

In addition we found a great Winter Bucket List over at Education.com already filled up for us! We will be using this until the beginning of April. Hope to get it all checked off!

I am working on several parties for the kids. We will be hosting our Annual Children's Book Exchange Party as we do each year. Here is a peek from last year's party! This year's theme is "A Charlie Brown Christmas" !

Looking forward to a lot of family time...parties....and crafting!

I invite you to check back each week for exciting happenings as we travel to other countries (virtually) and celebrate Christmas all month!

Be Blessed!
