Fun for Life Mama | Shan Grossman

Christmas · November 28, 2022

Merry Monday

By the time you read this, I will be on an early flight with Ryan on our way to sunny Florida. He surprised me for my birthday last month, with a ticket for us both (without kids) to visit some of our favorite people on this earth! Even though we’re headed to the beach, my heart will be in the Christmas spirit! So I’ll leave you with such!

My kids know the first thing on my agenda after Thanksgiving is…

…getting out our Christmas decor and cueing up my CHRISTMAS PLAYLIST! Nothing gets us in the Christmas spirit more than listening to our favorite songs of the season.

Our favorites include…

It’s an hour and a half of Christmas FUN! You can listen HERE.

There is nothing like a good seasonal bucket list to ensure we create Christmas memories each year! The kids and I came up with this for 2022…

I’d love to know what your family traditions big or small are for the Christmas season!

Another thing that my kids know they can count on is…

…me picking up Christmas goodies from Trader Joe’s! You can check out our favorites HERE!

If you’re needing some inspiration for your Christmas shopping, I have compiled all of my gift guides in one place HERE.

Our Christmas Movie watching began when our extended family gathered for Thanksgiving this year. After dinner and a walk, all of the kids piled into our library and we put on Home Alone. Our favorite holiday movies are…

Speaking of Christmas movies, ’tis the season for Hallmark Christmas movies! Since we don’t have cable, it was always such a special treat for the kids and I to watch these when visiting my dad for the holidays. I love how family friendly they are, and EVERY ending is a happy ending! For nostalgia purposes, I signed up for a free trial on Amazon to the Hallmark channel this year! So far, I have watched…

I loved this one. It was a great introduction to my inaugural Hallmark watching experience! I have been watching these while I do laundry and house chores. It’s a great cure to the monotony! As I type this, my kids are in the next room over watching this one now, too.

This one wasn’t my favorite and was a bit slow for me. I would love help knowing which one to watch next! There are so many to choose from, so some guided direction would be so nice!

While my house has been in Thanksgiving decor the past month, my reading list has been in Christmas mode! I’ll be sharing my Christmas Book Review later in the week, so be on the look out!

I have the perfect festive sweet treat to go with your Christmas memory making…

…my easy no-bake CHOCOLATE PUDDING PIE. This one is so easy, your kids can make it!

I’m off to enjoy time with friends and Ryan! We’ll be flying home on Wednesday, but I’ll be sharing another gift guide, so check back here then!

Have a Merry Monday!
