'Tis the Season...

I tell my boys that they must be really good, because not only does Santa visit our house in December, but so does the Advent Calendar Fairy!  We started this tradition years ago, thanks to my friend Sarah and her awesome blog.  The Fairy leaves a little note each day in our Advent calendar.  She usually tells us something to do that day that has to do with Christmas, like go Christmas shopping for your cousins, Cuddle up with a Christmas movie while drinking hot chocolate with a candy cane, or make Christmas cards for your teachers.  Here are a few of the bigger things we've done thanks to this magical little fairy:

"Start off the month of December right by visiting a Creche Festival"


"Find the true meaning of Christmas at a Living Nativity"



"Meet up with Friends and go see a Winter Wonderland of Christmas lights!"



I can't wait to see what the Advent Calendar Fairy has in store for us for the next 13 days...

I love it! Did you see the two-page spread in "The Friend" that counted down to Christmas with acts of kindness? It started the 11th.
