2014 Christmas Bucket List

A few times a year, I like to make lists of things I don't want to miss out on. There's so much to do during the holidays, that I find it helpful to have a bucket list to remind me of the activities I don't want to forget. We'll be having a big Christmas dinner & spending as much time  with family as we can, of course. Here's what I'd love to do this holiday season:

1. Going krazy karpeting at a local park (if we get enough snow)
2. Making gingerbread houses (probably out of a kit)
3. Baking & decorating cookies
4. Decorating a real tree
5. Building a snowman (again, if we get any snow)
6. Riding the Christmas Train at Bright Nights in Stanley Park
7. Biking to the Trinity Street Light Festival
8. Making some gifts--we'll see how much time I have for this with two active kidlets this year!
9. Sending out holiday cards
10. Santa photos (maybe early enough to send them out in the cards!)
11. Drinking Glühwein at the Vancouver Christmas Market
12. Making more seasonal decorations for our house
13. Making an evergreen wreath
14. Visiting the VanDusen Gardens Festival of Lights
15. Buying Hope in Shadows calendars from a street vendor

I doubt we'll check off every single thing on this list, but it's nice to have a reminder so I don't get to December 24th before I remember that I wanted to take the kids to VanDusen, or something...

What activities will you be doing this holiday season? What are your top three can't-miss-out activities that you want to do with your family?
