This time of year seems to be a little busier for us, so I thought it might be helpful if I just got all my special meals and recipes gathered for the month. I checked the menu plan and have made a list of the holidays that we want to celebrate.
If you haven’t seen our Perpetual Meal Plans yet, then you really need to check them out, as they have all kinds of special and unique holidays listed. Now is the time to start making your bucket list for Fall things, if you haven’t already.
Special Winter Meals with Recipe Links
You can also check out our Holidays tab and the December Holidays post for even more ideas!
Don’t forget to add upcoming birthdays onto your Meal Plan!
Here are a couple of links that you might find helpful:
December:
1: National Christmas Lights Day: Set a day to go look at lights… make some cocoa and put in a thermos, pop some popcorn, and load up the kids for a fun night! Maybe go to a drive-thru Nativity as well!
7: Pearl Harbor Day – We will probably do one of our ‘Patriotic Meals‘
12: Gingerbread House Day: You could buy a kit or try our ‘Gingerbread’ decorating activity
14: Monkey Day – Try our easy Monkey Bread Recipe!
