journal your Christmas dec 2nd

Todays prompt was to tell about what we want for Christmas. Here is December 2nd journal entry. I am doing my journal all digital so I can make it into a hardcover book. Here is what the journaling says " Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Sonw. . . All i rally want for Christmas is Snow! I love the Crispness of the air, the snow falling gently to the ground, building the first snowman of the season, playing with my kids outside (Jazzine, Bailee, Maggie, Rajah) and being snowed in and reading a good book and sipping on hot chocolate with a candycane inside it with mini marshmallows. That is all I want for Christmas.

We get prompts every day of what we can journal about or we can do our own thing. I am going to stick to the prompts.

Here is my first journal entry for December 1st, It is about why I am creating the journal.

Here Is what my journaling says "Starting Today December first (ok its really the 3rd) I am going to keep a Christmas journal. In this journal I will write something in it every day to reflect on the Holidays of Christmas pasts, enjoy the holiday of the present. I want to capture my favorite family traditions and memories of the Christmas season.
