Book of Me Scrapbook LayoutsDecember Challenge - Special Holiday MemoriesFor the December and final challenge for the Book of Me Scrapbook Layouts, we are going to focus on those Special Holiday Memories. If you work this theme to it's fullest extent, you could come up with a complete Holiday Scrapbook that covers many years or how about the idea of a special Holiday Scrapbook each year. Option #1 - WHAT FOODS DO YOU ASSOCIATE WITH THANKSGIVING, CHRISTMAS OR HANUKKAH? - Special cookies only made during November or December, cheese balls with party crackers, homemade fudge? Include family recipes, photos, and/or stories about the special people who made/make these foods each and every year. Photo and Layout ideas: How about that special person making the special food or just photos of the food on the presentation plate. How about including the recipes themselves? Watch out, this may be the start of an entire favorite family recipes scrapbook.
Is one of your Thanksgiving traditions having everyone at the table mention what they are Thankful for? Use a layout like this to journal on each of the tags what everyone has said or all the different things you are Thankful for yourself. Option #2 - WHAT IS ONE (OR SOME) OF THE SIMPLE JOYS OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON that you like to savor to the fullest? - There are a few things about the holiday season that I just can't get enough of (other than homemade cookies - huge grin), but I especially adore the lights: tree lights, porch lights, candles. They make me glad we have early sunsets, just so I can enjoy the glimmer of lights in the darkness. What parts of the holidays warm your heart? Photo and Layout ideas: photos of those special ornaments or displays that have been in your family for years or that started those special traditions. 
Option #3 - WHAT WAS THE BEST PART OF THE HOLIDAY AS A CHILD? - AND NOW? I've already mentioned the cookies and the lights, but the religious services and holiday movies also are special memories to me. Do some reminiscing about your childhood and the traditions your family had; perhaps you are continuing them with your own children. Do you know how these traditions started? Journaling Ideas: Isn't that something that you would like to document and journal about - to pass on to the next generation as well?
