First Sienna and Kyla painted the water colours we needed to form the basis of the paper dolls.

Then we stuck them up on the wall, above Buddha, who I'm sure won't mine even though he doesn't 'do' Christmas.
I have a tendency to avoid Christmas, but this year I wanted to make up for the past years of grinchyness and we have a fun month planned. Our activities list looks like this.

Thanks friends :)
Sure Rick, file the paper work ;)

They look fab and I love your list! I feel inspired to make one of my own. It takes mr a while to warm up to the festivities, but once I get in the flow I usually love it. I have to get all my pressies and cards organized for the UK in the next week or two, then I can relax and enjoy some crafty, baking, musical fun!
Oh wow--I LOVE this idea!! Maybe I'll see if Nathan is interested! I've been kind grinchy about Christmas, too--but now I've decided to embrace it. (Christmas, not grinchyness.) It's doesn't HAVE to be a pain in the ass!!
