Christmas Countdown

 

Instead of a chocolate advent calendar, I decided to do something a little more interesting this year. I wanted to make sure we did all off the holiday activities we wanted to so I made a list and wrote them down on little pieces of paper. Every day in December we draw a different activity.

Here are a few things we have on our list.

* Drive around town to look at Christmas lights.
* Watch It's A Wonderful Life and drink egg nog
* Make chocolate fudge (a family tradition. I might put our fudge recipe in a later post)
* Make paper snow flakes
* Listen to Christmas music and play board games
* Write new year's resolutions
* Make and decorate sugar cookies
* Bake cinnamon apples
* Read The Polar Express and drink hot chocolate
* Walk (or drive if it's too cold) to McDonald's or Dunkin Donuts and get hot drinks
* Watch A Christmas Carol and eat popcorn
* Go to the mall and look at the Christmas displays

Feel free to use some or our ideas or make up your own. Most importantly enjoy this wonderful time of the year!
