How do you count down to the holidays?
All great ideas.. Something that anyone can pick out and look good.. Christmas is right around the corner and it's time to get busy...If we as parents or grandparents aren't keeping track I know the kids are ~!~!
ReplyDeleteWow! There are some gorgeous advents out there! I'm particularly loving your activity advent. Now that my son is 3, I'd love to do something like that with him.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for featuring my book advent! I LOVE this tradition. (And maybe next year I'll add ribbons and bows to each...wrapping 25 books is a lot of work, LOL!)
Great ideas! I love advent and am always looking for something new and different to do! Last year we did these: http://confessionsofahomeschooler.blogspot.com/2009/12/advent-calendar.html
