12 Daytz of Christmas

Last year my husband and I were HORRIBLE at making time to spend just the 2 of us, so  I came up with the idea to pre-plan a date night for every month in 2009. I chose dates we probably would not have chosen to do had we decided on the fly to go out, which is usually what we did. Things like going to a comedy club or miniature golfing- all fun activities, but not something we ever made plans to do. When I gave him this for Christmas, I just printed it out on plain white paper and stapled the corners of each page- TOTALLY boring! Today, in preparation for this post, I jazzed it up a bit for anyone who wants to copy any or all of these pictures and give them to your special someone this year for Christmas. Maybe it will spark your creativity enough for you to come up with some of your own as well! Enjoy!

I LOVE this. I wish I had the kind of relationship that let me plan for things like that, but I don't even get to see him at least once a month. Sigh.

What a fantastic idea! I'm always saying we need to have "date night". And we always end up getting take out and a movie....

I love this, but my homebody husband would probably just be happy staying home to watch The History Channel or ESPN. :s

Such a great idea!!! Thanks for sharing. Perfect for my guy who doesn't know what he wants, ever, and I never know what to get him. Another tool this year wasn't feeling very exciting to me, so this is a great idea. Thanks so much.

What a great idea! With our first baby due in Dec, I can see our date nights slipping to the way side too easily, this will hopefully help keep us going! Thanks for posting what you used they are great daytz!
