Christmas To-Do List!

Covering all my Christmas bases...




Every year I make it a point to get a list together of everything I want or need to do for the holidays! 1. Because making lists is what I do. 2. There are just too many things to keep straight in my head when it comes to Christmas!



So I have it written all down on a sheet of paper- It is in the making and growing every time I remember something else to add, but I would like to share it with you all so you can add some Christmas cheer to your lives and make sure that YOU are covering all of YOUR Christmas bases!

Creamy Crockpot Hot Cocoa 1.5 cups heavy cream 1 can of sweetened condensed milk (14oz) 2 cups milk chocolate chips 6 cups of milk 1 tsp vanilla extract Stir all the ingredients together in your crockpot. Cover, & cook on low for 2 hours - coming back to whisk it every so often.
21. Make a door wreath

Not usually the salon nail type of girl but I love these ones for the Holidays! :)

31. Build a snowman if weather permitting
