Holiday Bucket List 2015
We’re back for another fabulous year of The 12 Days of Blogmas…and this year it’s bigger than ever! Here at Girl on the Move you’ll mostly see posts about travel, fitness, blogging, and cupcakes…but once a year I ask that my amazing readers (that is YOU!) indulge my love of all things Christmas with this series! You’ll definitely see travel and fitness themes in the posts, but you’ll also see some amazing Christmas-ness.
We’re kicking off the series with a look at our Holiday Bucket Lists! This year is extra special for our family because it is my brother-in-law’s first holiday season in the United States, so we are excited to share all of our Christmas traditions with him…I’m pretty sure there actually aren’t enough days in December to do everything on our list so we’ll be focusing on our favorites. Here’s a look at our holiday bucket list, and hopefully it will give you ideas of what you can do with your family during the holiday season!
I’d love to hear in the comments below, what’s on your holiday bucket list this year? What should I add to my list?
Also, if you love Christmas as much as I do, you should check out all of the other Christmas posts from these other fabulous bloggers below…

I’d like to know more about the Tim Tam Slams–I’m guessing it has something to do with the British cookie of the same name? Also, the lights tour with cocoa sounds really fun. Might have to make up a could of travel mugs for when we go out to see the local light show!

What an awesome list! Can I be a dork? What in the world are Tim Tam Slams???
jmdenouden@gmail.com
You’re not a dork at all…that has been the #1 question on this post in the comments…so I’ll be scoping about it soon!
alexandria
There’s nothing better than watching Christmas movies with my little one. I love it. I let her watch way more movies than I should, but it’s the holidays. It doesnt matter. Lol. I was thinking how doing a cute Polar Express type thing with hot chocolate and a ride to see all the lights.
jmdenouden@gmail.com
There is just something about this time of year that it’s okay to break some of the rules…like how many movies you can watch in a week!
Brandy M.
I have ice skating on my list as well! This year I hope to actually get Christmas cards out as it’s been a couple of years.
jmdenouden@gmail.com
I need to get Christmas cards out this year as well! I have the first 30 or so finished and now just need to tackle the rest of the list!

This is a great bucket list! The only thing I have to add to ours is going on the Polar Express with the Boy Scouts.
jmdenouden@gmail.com
I’ve always wanted to do some type of Polar Express trip!
Yona Williams
I’m curious about a ‘Tim Tam Slam’ – what is that? On my list, one of my priorities is to make a new wreath for my front door.
jmdenouden@gmail.com
This is definitely the number one question about this post lol! I’ll be doing a Periscope about them on Sunday and will post about them later in the series 🙂
Pam @ Hodge Podge Moments
Love seeing bucket lists! You have some fun items on your list. 🙂
