5 Things We Love Right Now

12 Days of Winter Wonder

Not only does this gift set come with impeccable presentation, it is also delicious! We recently sampled this whole 12-day spread in one afternoon. Spirited banter ensued as the boys fought over the meat sticks. The rest of us sampled the delicious nut medleys with civility and concluded with ease that their mantra “Snacks Guys Love” is incredibly fitting. DMSnacks.com

Across the Board Horseracing Game

Easy to learn, engaging and fun! Great for all ages and really any number of players. This game is beautifully crafted of solid wood with metal racehorses. Gamble for real or not. It makes for a truy winsome game night! I am won over by the fact that it is family owned and operated and handmade in St. Louis. ATBGame.com

The Christ of Christmas

Anyone else ever told your kids the Nativity set on display during the Christmas season is “not for touching”? Help make the manger scene come to life with this beautifully illustrated book that helps to not only breathe life into the traditional Christmas decoration, but also makes it tangibly applicable to our lives. Using the parent connection questions provided brought wonderful conversation. The baby in the manger is not simply the reason for a season—He is the reason for all of life. Enjoy this beautiful story afresh. Amazon.com

Holiday Lights

I am not a fan of the days’ getting shorter … until the evenings are filled with the splendor of holiday lights. My preference doesn’t include a color scheme; it’s simply more! One December evening we will pile everyone and the dog into the car to go oooh and aaah at light displays across Kansas City. Highly anticipated destinations this year include Winter Magic and Enchant Christmas. Find a fabulous list online at KCParent.com/Christmas-in-KC.

Advent calendar

December bursts with anticipation! Weeks upon weeks of waiting ... just waiting, which is hard for everyone. This is why I love an Advent calendar. Small surprises to enjoy every day that build to something greater. For years, our family has read a devotional and dressed a Jesse Tree. Recently, my daughter and husband enjoyed a cheese Advent calendar, others an escape room type of Advent calendar. All of them help us bide our time and anticipation. Find something fun that helps your family celebrate the season day by day! Amazon.com
