Special Holiday Meals: December Edition

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 Holiday Meals: St. Nicholas Day Menu & Traditions

We try to take off from our regular homeschooling for the Advent season, and this is one of those fun things we do to get everyone into the Christmas Spirit. We will also have some studies about St. Nicholas and maybe do a few fun crafts as well. We also like to put our Christmas Tree up on this day as well!

Light of the World Advent Study: A Family Journey Through Scripture, Nature, and Worship

Hey friends! I know I’m cutting it close with this, but I’ve worked hard to get this finished before the Thanksgiving holiday, so we would have it ready for the start of ADVENT. It has been a labor of LOVE, and I am so thankful to be able to share this with you.

I have put together this Advent Study to use for our homeschool during the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. We always try to do some sort of Advent Study, and I wanted to try to put one together… I did just that, and I think it’s going to be AMAZING!


This study can be as simple as like, but we have included:

Scripture & Bible Study

Integrated Learning with lessons:

  • Language Arts
  • Math
  • History
  • Science/Nature
  • Hymns
  • Art
  • Preschool Activities

Family Activities, Reflections, and Prayers


Without further ado, I will post the links to all the parts… I did break this down into weekly units, covers, and a study guide to make it easier for me to save them on the computer and upload… Hopefully, this helps with the download part on your end. We will try to post links and resources as we go through the study so that you can follow along, if you like. The only thing is that you will truly need to FOLLOW the blog to be able to see these posts!
