I am very excited for the holiday season this year. I am prepared to journal and engage in a way that will be deeply meaningful. This year, more than any other year before, I am feeling the holiday spirit. My daughter is 6 and very excited about the season. I am wondering if her excitement is contagious. As I embrace this lengthy 6 week break from graduate school, I know my next semester will be quite rigorous.

I have been attempting to keep a December daily journal with my daughter for the past couple of years. These attempts have been inconsistent. This year I began working on our journal early. I decided I would use ring for easy addition of random paper and pages. I also started the December Daily journaling class by Ali Edwards. This preparation has given me the confidence to embrace this process this year.

I was concerned that I would find it difficult to choose topics to write about. I decided to take some time to sit down and prepare a prompt calendar for this undertaking. If you would like to share in my calendar I will include it here.

I am hoping to share every day and looking forward to all the December Daily journal pages being shared by brave journalers everywhere.
