Trying to Get in the Christmas Spirit

Snow has finally arrived in Chicago!

(We didn’t get a lot of snow)

To be honest, I thought the first snow would get me more in the Christmas spirit.

But, it didn’t.

I thought once I got the decorations up around the house it would put in the Christmas mood.

Once again, it didn’t.

We still have to get our Christmas tree. Maybe that will put me in the Christmas spirit.

I know that trees, stockings, glitter, and snowflakes doesn’t really have anything to do with the true meaning of Christmas.

As you can tell I need a little true Christmas cheer.

How does your family celebrate Christmas? What do you do in order to remember the real meaning of Christmas?

I know there is only 17 days until Christmas but I want to do something special (maybe even start a tradition) to teach Jacob the real meaning of Christmas and why we celebrate.
