We have fun counting down the days until Christmas. I created two additional advents this year (you can see them here). When I was a kid, we did an activity each day in addition to a nightly ritual of singing a Christmas song, reading a Christmas story, and burning down some candles.
This little stocking tree has our daily activities in it:
Our activities this year have been pretty simple so far while we're adjusting with little Oliver...watch a Christmas movie, make hot chocolate, make Christmas cookies, decorate a (store-bought, already assembled) gingerbread house, assemble and deliver neighbor gifts, etc. We are venturing out a bit more this week to see some of our favorite Christmas things in D.C.
(We had fun screen printing our neighbor gifts this year...final results are on the craft blog.)
We discovered that the girls' Christmas dresses from last year still fit!
Love you nativity sets! What a festive home you have. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas, hug the kids for me.
