Been crazy busy this holiday season? Us too. Today on The Morning Thing, we shared some really helpful tips and lists from imom.com that can help you get ready for these last couple of days before Christmas!

  • Helping with gift wrapping
  • Making dinner and setting the table
  • Addressing Christmas cards, applying return address labels and stamps
  • Errand running
  • Baking

We also checked off Christmas activities on our family Christmas bucket list. Which activities are left on your list? We’ve got oooing and aahing at Christmas lights done, but ice skating…not so much.
