Okay you guys. This is one of our all time favorite Christmas traditions. I know I mentioned it in my post that you can check out here. This is so fun!
It's such an easy going night, and it doesn't take hardly any preparation (except for the hot chocolate, and if you wanna build a fort to watch the movie in ;)
So stick around to see our most loved tradition in the Fashionista Housewife Home :)
Polar Express Night
Time for fun!!! Just watch as this night unfolds years of memories for you guys to share!
First, we get into our most comfy jammies!
I choose some fleecy jammies with some fuzzy socks. I love to be warm and toasty, and I usually run cold anyways.
My man chooses shorts and a T-shirt #oppositesattract.
I make some crockpot hot cocoa, and put it into our Starbucks cups. You know, the ones they sell for $1? I honestly just use them because they have tops on them. Makes it easy to drink in the living room!
We love to bring out our inner kid and build a fort to watch the movie in. It's so cozy and it really gets everyone in the mood to settle in for a night at home!
We turn on the fireplace. Ours is not real in any case, but that's alright with me! You just press the on button ;) We found this media console (its gorgeous in person too!) at Walmart, of all places!
I grab a fleece blanket #canyoutellilikefleece that we got from Costco. We love these! I believe they're called the Sherpa lined ones? We have a tan and a maroon one. If you can't find these, Cole has his own blankie from Costco too. But his is just plain fleece and in a dark brown color. His is super soft too!
The tan sherpa blanket is the one I'm cuddled up in!
Turn on The Polar Express, it's time for the main premiere!
Enjoy staying cuddled up with your most favorite people on the planet :)
We do this every Christmas Eve!
