Christmas is tomorrow, which means our 24 Days of Togetherness is over. How sad. I can’t believe how quickly it flew by, but having a fun, little Christmas activity to do each day made the time even more special. I’d say our first 24 Days of Togetherness was a success!
I did a pretty good job of documenting each activity—the corresponding post is linked below—but there were a few photos that never made it onto the blog, so I included them below so Mal and I can better remember those times.

I didn’t participate this year, but I think it’s a wonderful idea for when I have a significant other/husband/family. Thanks for the wonderful idea. Your holiday spirit is contagious
I love the 24 days of togetherness! Such a great idea!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!! Be sure to give Murphy a squeeze on the nose for me!!
I am definitely doing this next year! Thanks for the great idea. Merry Christmas!
I am definitely doing this next year! My husband had to travel for work a lot this month so we didn’t have a chance to participate this year.

We did 24 days of togetherness! My favorite was when we picked out Christmas ornaments!
I’ve never done this, but I think I would totally do this with my family in the future!
This is such a wonderful idea and I think I am going to have to participate in this next year so that I can really truly get into the holiday spirit.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. It’s a white Christmas down here in NJ too. XOXO
Love this! Merry Christmas to you guys!
I really love this idea! It’s such a great way to celebrate the holidays together. Merry Christmas to you & your family!
We did your idea, but missed like almost a weeks’ worth! I’m looking forward to sticking with it next year — my fiance and I were just working too much this time around! It was a great way to really appreciate the holidays and our time together! Thanks for the idea!
We did your idea but had a smaller list because we didn’t start on time. Also, we missed a few but I’m going to count this week too since its still the holiday season!
We had so much fun doing this! I think my hubby liked the Christmas season a lot more as a result. Thanks for sharing this idea!
I live in Burlington and was pretty stoked to see Mal’s hoodie in this picture.
