My Salt Lake City Christmas Bucket List
I love basically all the holidays, (except for Valentine's Day because it's all about Galentine's Day) and Christmas is no exception!
There is no end to all the amazing, happy things you can do during Christmas time! I'm so excited that it's here!
I'm here to show you my ultimate Christmas list of all things I would like to do if I could in one holiday season.
And I've put an asterisk next to the ones I actually plan to do this year.
What is my list missing?
PS I haven't included any New Year's Eve activities because I like to keep it very seperate from Christmas. Believe it or not, I have liked NYE even more than Christmas since I was a kid. And now it's my baby's birthday!

What is glog? I love your list! We are trying to figure out all the things we want to do for Christmas. I’m going to have a maker space for my kids that is like a little elves workshop. They can make and wrap gifts all they want. I’ve been dreaming about it for a little while and hope it works out nicely.
ReplyDeleteI love your workshop idea! That's the cutest, and now I want to do that with my kids someday.
ReplyDeleteGlogg is a Scandinavian Christmas drink. (The Spring varies depending on the country).) It's basically hit mulled wine, but you can make it non-alcoholic too.
We first had it at The Viking Yurt and now I make it home every Christmas.
