I have to admit - I LOVE the idea of Advent and slowing down to appreciate the real meaning of Christmas and making opportunities for fun family memories - HOWEVER, realistically it's really difficult. Working part-time, getting things for Christmas and Addie's birthday organized has left us little time to celebrate Advent. But I haven't completely failed - for the most part we've done every days activity to some degree. It's all I can do! Here is the a list of our first five days activities:
Day 1 - make a Christmas countdown chain
Day 2 - purchase a Christmas tree and decorate it as a family
Day 3 - make a nativity ornament
Day 4 - put on new Christmas socks and read Christmas stories
Day 5 - make a nativity snowglobe and go sledding at grandma's
