When Christmas rolls around each year, I find that it is very easy to get wrapped up with all the things that go into making Christmas so special. There is baking, decorating, Christmas card writing, shopping, downloading Christmas songs, sipping hot festive drinks, and visiting with friends and family. And in addition to all those things (and more) I find that I tend to focus on making Christmas really special for my kids, constantly trying to find new crafts, cookie recipes, or books for them to keep the Christmas spirit exciting for them.
Well recently it dawned on me that all this hustle and bustle often distracts me from something, or should I say somebody, very important: my hubby! Because after all he isn't just an elf I can send out to run errands for me during this crazy holiday season- he is my partner, my friend, my HUSBAND! So this Christmas I wanted to do something special to show my husband just how much he is loved and cherished and what a gift he is to me. This Christmas season I am starting something new, I am calling it "A Merry Little Marriage".
I have created 24 cards leading up to Christmas and they are made up of 5 categories compliments, family nights, date nights, acts of service (ie: back rub, make his fav dinner), and "couple time". Each morning (Dec 1-24) hubby gets to open a card and see what's on that card and on card 25 (Dec 25)- there is a special letter from me to my hubby.
