As I mentioned in our last #fornewlyweds post, Morgan and I have been seriously lacking in the making traditions department of our holiday celebrations.  This year, I’m determined to make a shift in the pendulum, and I’m using the ever-motivating bucket list.  So without further ado, watch us attempt to cross these items off our list leading up to Christmas –

Have a Christmas Movie Marathon – Home Alone, Elf, The Santa Claus, and Die Hard

Cut down a fresh tree and take Mack, too!

Bake and Ice Christmas Cookies

Decorate the tree while listening to carols

Give a gift to someone I don’t already know

Find the perfect gift for someone I love – one they didn’t already know they wanted

Make a wreath for the back door

Design, address, and mail our Christmas Cards

Host a Christmas party

Pursue a heart of contentment despite the typical demands of the season
