Just the other day I came across a project on Ali Edwards‘ blog: the December Daily.
It is an album project that documents the 25 days leading up to Christmas and I immediately fell in love with this concept. What Ali does is create 25 pages for a Christmas album. She does all the preparations for that album before December 1, so that when the month begins, she can simply enjoy the season, and keep a record of what happens every day in December. Since everything has been prepared beforehand, all she needs to do on the daily basis is add photos and journaling to her pages, and the result is a beautiful record of the Christmas season with her family.
Go check out her album project from last year
to get inspired HERE.

As soon as I saw her albums from 2009 & 2008, I was hooked, and I wish we would commemorate the season here like they do in other places. As of now, I can’t see how I could even fill an album with daily anecdotes because unless I make an effort to create somewhat of a Christmas spirit around here, there is not much to be found!
However, I might still try, and if I do, I’ll definitely keep you updated!
