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!
ReplyDeleteLuLu,
Deleteaw thank you! I agree this challenge is definitely a great way to get into the Christmas spirit. I love that you can get the whole family involved as well. I think we could all use a challenge that brings joy, and a lot of cheer! Thank you for stopping by, and leaving such a lovely comment. :)
Oh wow what a fab and fun idea for sure. this is a great way to capture some fab festive memories x
ReplyDeleteLove this! In a year when so much has been challenging, including finding the Christmas spirit, this is great way to remember special things from the past and create some new ones.
ReplyDeleteI really love this idea! I really love the idea of writing how you feel. This would be so lovely to look back on! Thanks for a beautiful idea!
ReplyDeletelooks like a lovely challenge! and it's great to embrace your inner photographer or boost your creativity if you are an actual photographer
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute idea. I love that it encourages people to really embrace the holiday season and all the different things that they love about it. I know that many people are struggling this year, so something positive like this is really needed!
ReplyDeleteThanks Britt!! I agree it sure does help to focus on things that are positive!
DeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteErica, 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. :)
DeleteWhat a lovely idea! I think this sounds wonderful. Pinning! Thank you for sharing this post on the Will Blog for Comments #12 linkup. Hope to see you there next week as well.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, thank you! :)
DeleteThis is a wonderful idea--I love how it makes you stop and think and look and appreciate for a few minutes each day during a busy time of year. Thank you for sharing this post with us all at the Will Blog for Comments #52 this month. We'll be back at the bi-weekly schedule for linkup #53 which opens Monday morning January 6, and we hope to see more of your posts shared there. Happy New Year!
DeleteJennifer, thank you! Yes, it's a fun challenge. :) Happy New Year!
DeleteSounds like fun! But it’s just not right that Christmas is on your mind! Not yet!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by the Sunday Sunshine Blog Hop!

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.
DeleteVisiting from the Sunday Sunshine blog hop - what a fun idea!!
