Happy December everyone!

It's now 24 more sleeps until Christmas.

Since it's that time of year, I wanted to share a list I came across last year over at Naomi's blog, Rockstar Diaries. A list of 25 Christmas challenges! I loved this list and thought it would be a fun thing to do this December.
What do you think?
Want to do it with me?

25 christmas challenges...

go out of your way-- befriend someone today that needs a friend and follow through to christmas
tell someone you love them
make a tree decoration that will remind you of Christ
in your prayers today, give thanks for every blessing without asking for anything
try to be as kind as possible to others today
try not to quarrel with family members today
do a good deed anonymously
make goals for yourself-- seal a copy in an envelope to be opened in a year
visit someone sick or lonely or sad
do volunteer work for some worthy cause
do something fun for a child or younger sibling
try to forgive someone who has wronged you, be reconciled
make a "give list" instead of a list of gifts you'd like
improve yourself in some way to please the savior
quietly reflect and choose uplifting activities vs shopping
phone or send a card to an old friend or family member
listen to Handel's Messiah
make a christmas treat for someone else
be a calming influence today and control your temper
accept the gift of forgiveness-- pray for some weakness and ask for help in repenting of it
look at christmas lights... where does all light come from?
sing carols
do something nice for someone without their knowing it was you
be the first to say hello to people all day
ask someone to tell you about a past christmas

And with the start of this month also comes the realization that I need to hurry up and get a move on with my Christmas shopping and gift making.... So many things to do.

I love this time of year.
