We have been in Minnesota for three months now. Crazy. It doesn't feel like it has been that long and yet our last summer in New York seems like so long ago. And now Christmas is only two weeks away! Two! I can't believe how fast it has come. My goal is to make our Christmas presents this year, at least the majority of them, which means I have a lot to do before Christmas. I was able to get our advent calendar finished for the countdown to Christ's birth. I had bought this vintage printers drawer on etsy in June not really knowing what exactly I wanted to do with it, and then had the idea of using it as an advent calendar. Perfect!
The little cubbies are kind of small to have a treat or gift in each one and I also like the idea of having a special activity to do so instead I wrote down on folded paper something for each day. A few of them are little gift for charles like a box of goldfish, a hot wheels car, a book. Others are crafts or things to do as a family like movie night, go to the Holidazzle Parade, story time at the library, make a cereal/popcorn garland, bake cookies, go to the play land at Ridgedale Mall.
On Christmas Day we will bake a birthday cake for baby Jesus and sing him Happy Birthday.
