1. What's your favorite Christmas carol?
To sing at church: My Soul Magnifies the Lord
O Holy Night and Christmas Canon by TSO
2. What's your favorite Christmas movie?
Like to watch all the Santa Claus movies while we're doing Christmas baking with my girls. Otherwise, almost anything but ELF. :shudders: (My girls like it A LOT!)
3. When do you start shopping for Christmas?
November - I'd really like to start shopping before then but it never happens and I need to make sure if something needs to be returned it's closer to Christmas...and they keep changing their minds...so definitely not shopping sooner.
4. Do you bake for Christmas? If so, what? Feel free to share some recipes too.
This is our list for this year. We divided the list and buy all the ingredients and are baking them tomorrow!! I'm planning to take lots of pictures. I'm also going to try to plan to have all the cookie doughs made today so they are ready to just bake and decorate tomorrow.
Cookie List

5. What is your favorite thing you do with your family at the holidays?
Just be together. We have traditions and they have been adjusted as we add new family members. I love that our being together is not about the gifts, although those are nice, it's the time spent with each other.
