Hello. Remember me? Last time we met I was in a bit of a fog—7 months pregnant; completely consumed by my art and preparing for my final show. You provided a beautiful respite after my show was up. I think I lazed around for weeks needle-pointing Ada's stocking.
But not this year, December. This year I want to take you by storm. I want to devote a bit of time each day to doing three things:
I know. There are lots of things to keep me busy enough without throwing in festivities and the like, but I'm a bit smitten with you, December, and I want to keep things interesting this month.1. dancing to a Christmas song2. doing something Christmas-y as (per our advent calender's instructions)3. sketching for 15 minutes
Capisce?
Festively yours,
Paige

Truth be told most of those envelopes are still empty (filling more of them is on today's to-do list). Some envelopes just have a little treat in them, others will soon hold a note directing use to an activity of some sort (think ice skating, reading a new Christmas book, taking a walk to see the lights), and others will have scriptures or quotes to read together.
A bit cheesy? Maybe. But I'm actually quite excited to have a reason to do some research on what Christmas events and activities are in the area and actually do them.
I went to the tourist office yesterday and got a 9 page print out—IN ITALIAN—of things to do during the month of December. Guess whose new friend is Google Translate?
