To say that Christmas can be hectic is an understatement. Between fighting the crowds at the latest sale and trying to find the perfect gift for all the friends and family, you can find yourself more than a little exhausted and stressed. However, it’s a great time to just decompress and take a break from the rat race by making a do-it-yourself decoration. Remember, that this is the season to enjoy the beautiful and fun memories created just be spending quality time with your loved ones.

Just two days ago, my 7 year old son and I decided to make some star decorations to hang around the house. Surprisingly, it gave me an opportunity to sneak in a little learning with a ton of fun and laughs. We discussed real life stars and the nativity story. I even had him counting out the stars without him thinking it was “boring” school work. All in all, it will be a lasting memory we both share when we pull out our homemade stars next Christmas.
