Christmas Countdown

Our family has several traditions we do at Christmas time. Over the years I have started using a countdown calendar which has slips of paper with activities for us to do each day. The girls take turns reading the activity for the day. Here are a few of the things we did this year.

We made wreaths at Bahmah's house during Thanksgiving.
We decorated our house with lights, a rare event.
Relfie, our Elf on a Shelf came baring new pjs for the girls.
M helped me make this scrap pallet tree for the front porch.
The girls dressed up for the Creche Exhibit our church puts on every year.
One of the many Nativities I have. Remembering the reason for the season.

We took the girls to Winter Wonderland at the speedway.
 We decorated the tree together. This year we use a fake tree we got after 
Christmas last year. We used LED lights instead of regular ones. 
I don't think its as pretty, it puts off a cold light instead of a warm light.
Going to our ward Christmas dinner and visiting with Santa.
 
We also made gingerbread houses, delivered goodies to friends, gave presents to homeless, watched Christmas movies, read Christmas stories and a myriad of other activities.
