One.
Do you decorate your bedroom seasonally? The actual bedding, I mean? We don't, because I am not quite sure where I'd store the out of season bedding, but I have to say that this holiday themed bedding is awfully cute.
Two.
Did you Indiana people see this? It may be a long shot, but can you imagine if they really did film a Hallmark movie in Carmel???
Three.
Porches can be so hard to decorate for Christmas, because in order to be appreciated from a distance (you know...like a street...) the pieces have to be pretty large. Obviously that can translate into a large price tag! This looks like a fairly simple and inexpensive project that could pack a big punch for a porch area!
Four.
It is true that I'm not much of a game lover (because I always lose) but it's also true that Ryan and I love Family Feud. (We enjoy watching it and we even have a little car/card game version that we like to play while we travel.) I found this Christmas version on the web if you want to play with family or friends this season. One disclaimer is that the last question has to do with celebrities, and the game looks like it was created several years ago, so some of these answers might look quite different now.
Five.
I found a list of 48 life skills everyone should know. I was pretty relieved to see that I did well with this list, but I'll admit I didn't know how to do everything on here! I share it in case you're looking for some purposeful teaching moments for your kids/grandkids/mentees/people you know in your life in the coming year - but you might also look for some purposeful teaching moments for yourself!
Six.
I found this on the Dating Divas site - printable masks to use for kids when telling the Christmas account from Luke! (There is an already colored version and a black and white version for kids to color before using.) If you have kids in your family who want to act out the Christmas story at your family gathering this year...here you go!

The list of life skills to know is great!
I bought seasonal bedding for the first time this year for my daughters’ rooms. We have the room to store the bedding. I felt some mild guilt for the frivolity of the purchases but other than that, I love the bedding!
My mom had some medium to large boxes she wrapped in plastic wrapping paper and tied with bows that she put on the front porch every year. She put a brick or two inside each box to keep them from falling or blowing away.
Tamar - I agree! I feel like I learned a good chunk of things in a life skills class at school. Wonder if they still have those!
Maria - No guilt!! I think it sounds delightful!!! I've considered getting a duvet so I could switch out the cover, but I still haven't. (Or doing white as a base and accenting with pillows and throw blankets.)
Tracy - That is a great idea!!!! Ryan put weights from his old weighted vest in our porch tree stands and the wind still blows the over now and then. We hear the weights go flying every time! LOL!!!
We have Winter bedding (flannel sheets) and spring/summer/fall bedding (cotton sheets) and that's it. But with three beds that's already a lot of bedding (just sheets and duvet covers) to store.
I feel like there are a few of those life skills I should brush up on. Ack...
