31 photos you must take in December

I am not saying that you will be lacking in your holiday cheer if you do not take these, but taking these may increase your holiday cheer!

What I love about this time of year is all the magic.  Having small children and getting ready for Christmas can be a bit of a challenge, am I right?!  They are so excited, they look with their little hands and they are hopped up on so much sugar.  However inside all the madness is pure joy and splendor.  I wish for a moment that I could go back to a time when I was a child and preserve those feelings.  The feelings of complete awe and wonder as I gazed upon the family tree while Christmas music played on my parents record player in the background.  Those are the memories that I will cherish for a lifetime.  Here is a list of photos that you can take during this season.  Fancy pants DSLR camera or not, these are for you- get creative.  Remember they are al ideas and do not have to go in order.
