10 Things to Do Before Christmas

Oh my, so many things to do before Christmas! In a perfect world, I would do every single thing on this list before Christmas:

10 Things to do Before Christmas

Specifically,

1.) Bundle up and take in the Wildlights at the Columbus Zoo.
2.) Sip on a hot chocolate or two while shopping in the Short North. This Etsy shop has the cutest mugs!
3.) See The Nutcracker at the Ohio Theatre.
4.) Give back to some local charities like Mid-Ohio Food Bank, Capital Area Humane Society, or Alzheimer’s Association of Central Ohio.
5.) Check out the Christmas lights at The Scioto Mile + Columbus Commons.
6.) Design/make an elaborate gingerbread house. You could even have so much fun building a Grinch, Trolls, or Candy Land version!
7.) Host or attend a cookie decorating party, ornament exchange, gift wrapping party, cocktail party, and/or holiday brunch.
8.) Take a carriage ride at Easton Town Center.
9.) Snuggle up on the couch with friends/family + a great Christmas movie + candles. This one and this one are my favorite Christmas movies!
10.) Listen to a ton of Christmas music, including “All I Want for Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey + “Rockin Around the Christmas Tree” by Brenda Lee.

+ I go through our toys every few months - if the girls don’t play with it, it gets handed down to family or donated. I find they play better when there are less options 🙌🏻 
+ I use target’s organization bins & storage cubes for nearly everything & each one has a designated place - one for Barbies, doll babies, calico critters, etc. ✔️
+ I expect the girls to clean this area up on their own but I will occasionally go through & make sure things are still organized in the best way - a little maintenance, if you will! 🤍 
+ things don’t have to be perfect! I show my playroom IRL sometimes on IG & it does NOT look like it does in this reel! 🥰 
+ I’ve linked all that I can on LTK 😘
