Hanging our stockings/ Our Elf 'Jack' arrives at our home on December 1st
during our North Pole Breakfast.
We trim the tree with our favorite ornaments we collect on all our travels throughout the years. Here are a few - Cancun/Bahamas/and Mickey from our December Disneyland trip last year.
We have started a tradition of leaving a bag of old toys that the kids pick out to donate. We leave the bag for Santa on Christmas Eve and when he leaves their goodies, He takes the bag of their toys to give to some other deserving children.
Our Christmas Advent keeps things fun. Each day is a scripture about the birth and ministry of Christ, a hymn/Christmas song to sing and an activity to do. Some are as simple as putting a wreath on the door, others are to go ice-skating, gingerbread houses, go see Christmas lights, make cookies etc. I'm most looking forward to having a little Mother/Daughter Date at the Nutcracker Ballet. It may be a little young for her...but finally, I have a date to the ballet!
