Documenting it and preserving these memories for the family to enjoy ! Here are some ideas on what to scrap about for Christmas - So what are you waiting for? Take that camera and click away !!

1. OFFICE PARTIES
Office christmas parties can be a great way to remember "good times" about work. Take pics of co-workers partying the night away, take notes of the food that was served and what you thought about them - take a photo of you dressed up and journalize what you wore and what people thought of it - Enjoy!

2. FAMILY REUNIONS
Yes, family reunions can be boring and uneventful - but its also a good way to be updated on all the scoop in the family - take photos of "new additions" to the family - those little nieces & nephews; get cousins together for a "yearly update" photo; these will surely be fun to remember five years from now...

3. CHRISTMAS WISH LIST
Write up a list of things you hope to get this Christmas and at the end of the day (or technically - year), take photos of gifts you received and from whom and see if you got what you wanted - OR NOT - but its supposed to help you be grateful that at least you have received gifts !

4. CHRISTMAS VACATION
If you decided to go overseas for the holidays, this will be a great topic to scrap about. For journalling, take note of special places you've been. Take photos of your airline ticket or type up your itinerary. Most importantly, take a moment to write down how you felt and what things you did !

5. CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS
Every family has its traditions - even taking photos of usual activities help preserve some memories for the next generation to enjoy - here are some traditions that can make for a great scrapbooking subject :

  • Setting up the Christmas Tree
  • Opening gifts on Christmas morn
