The only thing I don't love about the Christmas season is that there is never enough time to accomplish everything I want to do.  Every year I am overflowing with ideas to do with my kids, and every year I run out of time.  We do our best to cram in as many Christmas activities as we can throughout the month of December.  I've pinned so many crafts and activities to my Christmastime board, and I thought it would be fun to share my favorite ideas from around the web and many of my own.  It was hard to narrow it down since there are so many amazing ideas out there.
