Do you have a December birthday or a family member with one?

This little sweetheart turns 7 this week and it’s been a fun challenge over the last 7 years to make sure her December birthday isn’t overshadowed by Christmas.

I’d love to hear your best tricks for making a December birthday feel special (or the things you SHOULDN’T do for December birthdays 😳).

RAD READER CHRISTMAS: DAY 5
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Otherwise known as the day I had to break the news to many many people that their calendar didn’t have a 5 on it 😬🙈🤣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you have an original version (limited edition 💃🏻😂) or a corrected one?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And you guys - not one single person has been anything but gracious and kind about that early snafu. You all are really the best of the best.

What causes you the most holiday stress?

It’s the most wonderful time of the year AND it can feel really hectic and stressful.

I’m sharing 7 tips for how to make December more magical and less “threaten that there will be no presents for ANYONE!” on my blog today, all of which I’ve learned the hard way 😬

Tell me what is most stressful about the holidays for you in the comments 👇🏼 For my introverted self, it’s the endless events - I just want to stay home in my pajamas 😅

RAD READER CHRISTMAS: DAY 4 - Read a book your parent loved as a child.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I LOVE Oliver and Amanda Pig and the Christmas one is probably my favorite. It’s so cozy and exactly how I want my family life to be (minus, you know, being pigs 🐷).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Tell me one of your favorite childhood Christmas books!

What is your favorite Christmas cookie?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My mom made these cookies for a cookie exchange when I was maybe 8 or 9 and I’ve remembered them all these years - it was so fun to make them myself this year and it’s the perfect treat for kids to help with.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The instructions are on my blog today. I hope you’ll enjoy them as much as we have!

RAD READER CHRISTMAS: DAY 2
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This was my favorite new Christmas book in 2017. It’s so cozy and gorgeous!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What book about Christmas trees did you read tonight?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And if you read something else instead, awesome! The #RadReaderChristmas is meant to serve YOUR family, not make you a servant to it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Starting this weekend? Great! Coloring it all in one day? 🙌🏼 Skipping days here and there? You’re doing it just right 👌🏻
