Christmas Advent Calendar
Advent Calendar
One tradition that our family started doing when the kids were little were fun activities each day leading up to Christmas starting December 1st.
I write 25 cards with different ideas on them, and I like to make them range from all sorts of things such as winter inspired ideas, to service projects, to family time together. It has truly become the kids very favorite thing to do each year!!
They take turns reading the card in the morning to see what the activity is, and it helps me to be intentional to do fun things with the family that they will remember forever, such as family sledding/skating days, game nights, and special movie nights.
It's easy to let the season go by and be so busy to not truly enjoy it with the family. And I never want this to be one more thing to weigh me down during the season, so I try to make them things that we will probably already do at some point, but it gets the kids excited and expectant to see what the day holds!!
