My December Daily Plan

Good morning!!

You all know that I am a total LOVER of Ali Edwards December Daily Albums.  This will be my 4th or maybe 5th year of doing this album.  (I would check, but since moving my DD albums are currently in my storage space)  I don't usually finish the album in December.  This month I may not even start it in December, but I take pictures and I take notes so I can do it quickly and have all the information I need when I sit down to work on it.

So, knowing that, I thought I would share my plan for this year on how I am handling the busy days and the boring days.  Lets start by knowing that until about the 15th, I didn't really have a conceptual plan.  I was just taking pictures and taking notes.  Last week, as I had a VERY busy Christmasy day, I got a strike of genius and I now have, what I feel, is a really good plan for me.

So, somewhere in my new house I printed a Dec. calendar and scribbled notes for the beginning of the month (before I moved) I will find it soon I'm sure, in the mean time, I am going to share what I can remember from the beginning of the month.  Remember!!  Christmas related stories (or December specific)

December
1- Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas!  A beautiful snowy day and I heard this song 3 times in the short time I was out of the house today.  I went to a Christmas Bazaar and ran to the store to get ice.  The rest of the day was spent watching Christmas movies and packing what I could for the move.

This was also my first Santa sighting!!

2- On my way home this afternoon, the deer that hang out near my house were here.  I have always meant to take some pictures of them, and today I finally stopped and took a couple shots.  They are so lovely and calming.  I love seeing them as I am driving home.  I have no idea why such a blue tint, but it kinda works for me.

4-


5-Dinner date with my friend , we try to do things together frequently, but more effort is made in December since we are single and tend to be "Scroogey"


So, as you can see, I don't have December specific pictures or journalling for the 3rd and 4th.  I am OK with that. This is part of why my DD doesn't get done in December.  I will fill these days with other December memories from this year.  Maybe the story behind a specific gift I will give or receive.   Maybe the story of a tradition that we have or I would like to create.  This "hole" will be filled with 'overflow' of Christmas spirit as the month progresses.

I am hoping to keep you posted on my Christmas memories and DD progress.

How are your December memories adding up?

Stay posted ...
