EDITOR'S NOTE: This Weekend's Event Highlights, Contest News & More

By Meghan Friedland, Editor/Publisher of Macaroni Kid Danbury-Bethel-Ridgefield December 11, 2015
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in our house! Thanksgiving weekend we decorated the house and made our gingerbread houses and this past weekend we picked out our tree and made lots of crafts (we visited the St. Mary School Craft Fair in Bethel & made crafts at New Pond Farm). The girls decorated the tree this week and it's beautiful. Only a few battles about who was putting the lights where and which ornaments were going to go where...which is to be expected with a 6 year-old and a 3 year-old. Nothing a little hot cocoa couldn't cure. We also took our Santa photo at the mall, picked out Christmas dresses and I de-cluttered the living room and the girls' rooms of toys and clothes that no longer fit to make room for Santa. I even played a few of my favorite Christmas music CDs as my soundtrack to it all. I'd say it was a relatively productive week! Next up: holiday photos (I know, I'm late), gift shopping (late here also!), mail letters to Santa, and ensuring my pantry is stocked for all of the baking we'll be doing over the next two weeks. Also, I hope to plan a Christmas Lights Tour for next week using our new "Guide to Holiday Light Displays"! How about you? How are you spending these days prepping for the holidays?
