Lately, I can’t seem to decide whether to be shocked that it’s already December or thrilled that 2020 is almost over.
Either way, Christmas is coming, and that means my kids are acting out “Santa Claus comes down the chimney” in their bedroom each night (which means they take turns putting on a Santa hat and squirming down through the space between their bunk bed and the wall to bring “gifts” to each other…I have no idea where they come up with these ideas).

…These Christmas picture books for kids are the best of the best…stories your family will want to read again and again!
We got our first real snow this week, and Black Friday ads are everywhere…so it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas from where I’m standing.
We’re holding out on putting up the Christmas tree until after Thanksgiving, but we’ve been listening to Jingle Bells on repeat and we broke out the Christmas picture books last week.
