Have you heard of December Daily? It’s a way of capturing the traditions of the days leading up to Christmas in an album. It started in 2007 by Ali Edwards.
Ali Edwards created her first album and started a scrapbooking craze which 5 years later is still going strong. I’ll be honest, I have not participated in a December Daily….yet! This year I have decided I am going to give it a go.
What is December Daily?
But before I show you my December 1st photos, let me explain a bit more about December Daily. What is December Daily? There are no hard-fast rules except that you should take photo daily (or almost daily) which show your family’s holiday traditions. Here are a few topics you could cover.
- Trimming the tree
- Visiting Santa
- Baking cookies
- Letters to Santa
- Christmas chaos
- Christmas shopping
- Traveling
- Cooking holiday dinner
- Advent calendar
- Holiday cards you receive
- Writing out holiday cards
December Daily Album Ideas
A few of my ideas for a December Daily album:
- Create a paper scrapbook page for each day with papers and embellishments tying all the pages together.
- Pick one photo for each day and put it into a 4×6 album.
- Create an Instagram photo each day and create one photo calendar digital scrapbook page with the Instagram photo in each day of the calendar.
My December Daily Album
I am going to create a December Daily digital scrapbook album using a template created by Ali Edwards.
My plan is to take several photos every day and I will try to put them into a page every day, but if i don’t get to it, I’m not going to sweat it. I’ll get caught up with the pages when I can. The important part of the December Daily, in my opinion, is to record the memories. Take the photos, jot down a note about what’s going on and if that is all that ever gets done, that’s ok!
Disclosure: In exchange for helping promote DesignerDigitals through my social media channels, I receive the product to use in my digital scrapbook pages. (But as a side note…I have been a customer for many years and have always loved the DesignerDigitals products)
the pictures are very beautiful and they are showing the devotion and the interest of the members for christmas . you can have more decorated place by having curtains of classic looks with various colors…

Hey Michele,
December Daily is such a nice way to capture the memorable moments. Through it, we can relive those moments whenever we feel like. Till date I just had a faint idea about December Daily, but now the entire concept is crystal clear. The pictures are brilliant and I can very well sense the fun you had while preparing your December Daily through the pictures. Thanks for sharing this valuable content.
Hi Michele,
This is also my first time to have my own December Daily. It was really a lot of fun doing these daily activities with my kids.
