Mom decided that this year there would be no candy in advent. It has not gone unnoticed, but there haven’t been complaints about the replacement items either. So we’ll call the mild grumbling a success.
We always start with the Christmas Story in the bible. After that we started a new tradition. Each kid got a small tree for their room and they are getting items to go with their tree throughout the countdown. Mixed in with the tree accessories we are writing letters to Santa, going to the Christmas Train, baking, crafting, movie watching, reading and lots more.
It is so fun to look forward to a new gift or activity each day to grow the anticipation of the season!
They are adorable and the wonderful traditions you are establishing with them will be something they can treasure always.
