Christmas Countdown Begins

I know it's not even Halloween yet. Don't worry, we're not going to hang up any lights before Thanksgiving. But we are going to plan ahead and make this Christmas a peaceful, enjoyable one. We are super excited to have the opportunity to fly down to Southern California and see family (Kurths and Speeds)! We've never traveled so far with a baby, so that will be an adventure too.

Anyway, this countdown to Christmas begins TODAY on 100 Days to Christmas, a very helpful blog. We have 100 whole days to plan, create, and generally just get it together ahead of time so we can relax and enjoy the holiday for the all the real reasons and not be overwhelmed by all the trim and trappings. Maybe this year we can make those cards we've always wanted to do...
