Mommy Needs a Timeout Thursday #12: Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas

That’s right all you crazy mama elves! It’s that time again. Christmastime! “Oh you know Christmastime. You guys all been… you guys all been good and practicing real hard. Clarence, you been rehearsing real hard? So Santa bring you a new saxaphone! Everybody out there been good or what? Oh that’s not many, not many you guys are in trouble out here!” Whoa excuse me, I definitely got caught up in that Bruce Springsteen moment.

Christmas makes me a little loopy. Between the presents and Elf on the Shelf covert operations and the baking and songs and movies and decorations, I feel like I live at the North Pole from the end of Thanksgiving all the way until the big day. I absolutely LOVE Christmas. And I know you’ve got some amazing Holiday stories, recipes, crafts, and fun that we would love to see! Link them up below!

Just a friendly reminder: Please Do NOT link up posts that lead to linky parties or giveaways. Only original content should be linked up. These posts will be deleted and not eligible for Featured Favorites. This is a place to share ideas with other moms. Thanks so much!

The Mommy Needs a Timeout Thursday Linky Party is hosted/co-hosted by an amazing group of women who enjoy a break from the hectic rush of motherhood. Join us each week to link up your favorite posts that are parenting-related or family-friendly (DIY, crafts, recipes, tips, etc.). Your links will be shared on 9 blogs. That’s 9 times the publicity for your posts.
Just a few rules for the linky party:
1- Follow all of the hosts/co-hosts on their blogs by clicking on the images below (it is a clickable collage). We will be sure to return the love.
2-Link up only what is yours. Also no links to other linky parties or blog hops or any online shops.
3- Check out at least 3 other links and comment, follow, etc.
4- Subscribe to our Newsletter for weekly reminders: CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP
Once you link up with us, we will pin your links to a party pin board. Our Timeout Chair is expanding to a seat for 3. Our 3 Featured Favorites will now be sitting in the Timeout Chair. By linking up with us you give us perrmission to include your post in any round up and to be shared on social media. The links will, of course, be linked back to you.
We will be tweeting throughout the day so be sure to look for us on Twitter #MomTimeThurs
