ABCs of Homeschooling through the Holidays

Today I’m covering the letter “E” in my post, “Eggnog… or Engaging the Senses! One of my favorite Christmas traditions since childhood is drinking eggnog. Not because there’s any significance to it, but because my mom and I always shared the enjoyment of eggnog during the Christmas season and its smell and flavor bring me back in time.

Although you may not feel the same about eggnog, there are so many flavors, scents, sounds, and sights that are unique to our celebration of Christmas that engage our senses. In this post, I share some of my favorite ways to engage the senses of my children during the Christmas season and create memory imprints that will last a lifetime.
