Creating Your Hanukah or Christmas Scrapbook

[freda tilly]

We hear the phrase "holiday season" beginning as early as October 1st,
yet, when it comes to creating scrapbook albums, I often see photos
from just the one day of Christmas, or the 8 days of Hanukah.
This year, create your album for the entire season. What does this
mean? When do you start your shopping and planning? My kids have
always created a wish list for my mom and dad. Make a copy of these
wish lists and add them to your scrapbook.
Once you begin your shopping, take photos of the bags and bags of
goodies you have purchased. There have been years where I've looked in
my trunk and just laughed at the amount of bags I have inside. Some
years I have bought gifts for teachers, for coworkers, for my family
and for the many gift exchanges I'm involved in.
I've always done my gift wrapping either during the day when the kids
are at school or at night when they are asleep. Take a few photos of
the gifts all being wrapped.
Most years, my kids and I bake. We bake for classmates, for coworkers,
for those who provide us wonderful service during the years and for
the many parties we seem to attend during the "holiday season". Take
photos of your baking process. Consider including a few recipes from
your baking in the scrapbook. Copy the recipes onto acid free
paper....
