Happy Holidays!
Are you busy wrapping up end of the year projects? To me it feels like 2025 is in the review mirror and I'm just putting the ribbons and bows on the last bits of it.
I'm slowing down and shifting gears, listening to Louis Armstrong recite the Night Before Christmas while I write this.
I thought about getting back into the groove and sending five marketing and design tips to share. But if you're like me you're ready to call it a year and celebrate the holidays.
So this time around I'm sharing ways you can celebrate the holidays, with music, movies, food, bingo, and books:
- Christmas Tunes on Heavy Rotation
- Do you hear it? It's a funny squeaky sound?!
- Lefse anyone? Holiday recipes to share.
- The Official Rules of Christmas Bingo!
- Cozy Christmas Couch Reads
What would you add to the list that I should sample this holiday season? May your days be merry and bright!
Sincerely, Sarah
Christmas Tunes On Heavy Rotation
What's on your holiday playlist? Here's what's on heavy rotation around our house this year. Apple Playlist | On Spotify
Do you hear it? It's a funny squeaky sound?!
Christmas Vacation is hands down my favorite holiday movie. Maybe it's because Clark reminds me of my dad or that squirrel is oddly relatable because of Christmases we spent at our cabin. I'm not sure, but it's definitely a family favorite around our house. Here are 5 binge-worthy Christmas movies to put you in the Christmas spirit. And what do you think, is Die Hard a Christmas movie?
Lefsa Anyone?
I tell my kids we're funny because we're Norwegian. And with a name like Muser in the family tree it sort of makes sense in a nonsensical way. Here are some of my favorite family recipes, including my Grandma Marie's Lefse, Buckland Salad, Lemon-Honey Drop Cookies, and Candy Cane Ice Cream.
The Official Rules of Christmas Bingo!
At some point during my childhood my family started playing bingo for presents and cash on Christmas Eve. (I told you we’re funny Norwegians). The first time my mom wrapped up a cows tooth with a Kermit the Frog toothbrush and called it prize. But she also wrapped up pennies, quarters, dollar bills and the sometimes even a $20. Inspired by those memories at the cabin, here's a version I've whipped up for my mommy friends that you can play too for trashy or real treasures with your family or friends this holiday season.
Cozy Christmas Couch Reads
I know I'm feeling relaxed when I take time out to curl up on the couch with a good book. Here's are a few books to add to your reading list.
