I had to stop myself. My mind was racing with how much fun we will have for these next few weeks before Christmas. I was thinking of what supplies we needed and which we already had at home.
We LOVE Christmas in our home. The minute the fall air smells like pumpkin spice, you can feel the excitement at our house. We get so excited and gear up for decorations the minute Thanksgiving is over. Many years we already put up our decorations before Thanksgiving.
YES, we start baking. This year we have already tried some of the recipes in this article below. We started with the Candy Cane Holiday Bark to give to friends and family. They are soooooo scrumptious!

Christmas music? Right after Thanksgiving, I mean—- RIGHT after it. We are the screaming-Christmas-songs-at-the-top-of-our-lungs-in-the-car-type family.
Since we started STEAM projects in our homeschool last year, I was super excited to explore Christmas STEAM/STEM for the first time this year.
I am sure we can’t get through more than a handful this year. The hard part is narrowing down which we will do.
STEM and Christmas
If your kids enjoy STEM activities and love Christmas, this is a no-brainer. Christmas is coming and this is the perfect time to keep your children learning as you put down the worksheets and notebooks.
