The workload of a wife and mother more than doubles during December. In addition to all of her normal duties, she may add writing Christmas cards or letters; decorating the house; additional cooking and entertaining; shopping for and wrapping gifts; attending musical rehearsals and programs; arranging for special clothes or photography sessions; hosting overnight guests; and many others. I once estimated that I added 60-80 hours of work during December, in addition to my regular homemaking and homeschooling responsibilities. No wonder I breathed a sigh of relief when school routines returned in January.

Christmas music, concerts, and special events are always a highlight of the Christmas season. Here’s a list of upcoming events (some free and some cost) that are both educational and fun for your family!
