Do you do Advent Calendars with your kids? I grew up always having one and we have continued that tradition with our kids. This year the Professor is old enough to have his own. I am guessing in a few days he will start understanding to look for a new gift each morning. We keep the gifts really small. Usually it is a piece of candy, a pencil something like that. I am also a fan a buying something like an 8 pack of cute socks and that takes care of 4 days for the girls PLUS gives them something useful. Today the girls each got a new headband (and they will be getting headbands 3 more times.....Ha!). The Professor got a new matchbox car. On the 24th they will each come out to find a big gift and it will be their annual Christmas pjs.
What traditions do you have?
My family. My blog. Just a blog about the 6 of us, trying to live a Godly lifestyle in this crazy world.

I had never even heard of Advent until I was in my 20's maybe so thats one tradition I don't do but my favorite is the reading of the "Christmas Story" as I call it otherwise known as Christs birth. My dad would read that to my siblings and I every year on Christmas eve. We would drink hot chocolate while we listened and then we would go to bed. I do that with my children now.
I made a 12 days of Christmas gift calendar (wall hanging with pockets) and I'm excited to use it!
