    What a lovely Christmas challenge. With many of us being limited with what we can do this year, this is a lovely way to make some holiday memories and get into the Christmas spirit - plus you can get the whole family involved. The great thing about a photo challenge is that anyone can do it, with cell phone cameras these days, it's easy to snap good quality pictures when inspiration strikes!

    This is such a neat idea! For me, it would really force me to slow down and enjoy the simple things. Which is something I don't do nearly enough, and I'm presuming most don't either. Especially right now when it seems almost impossible to really get into the Christmas spirit and be excited about the holidays.

      Erica, I agree. Most of us are finding it harder to get into the Christmas spirit with all that has happened this year. I hope this challenge is able to help bring some cheer where it is needed. :)

      Thank you! I haven't started decorating, haha. Now that would be way too early. All the stores seem to believe that it is not too early. Even though I know some people do. Hopefully, those who want to save the challenge and revisit closer to that time will do so. 😊 Thank you for stopping by.
