I love this holiday tradition, started by Andrea from A Peek Inside the Fishbowl. This is like an advent calendar, but instead of eating chocolate, you get to do a fun activity each day (and by the way, we of COURSE have our regular chocolate advent calendar - Fair Trade! The girls were also given 2 other advent calendars by our cousin, so I think the whole family will enjoy a daily dose of chocolate this holiday season).
This is a bit tougher for me, as I'm not home with the girls all day. We'll have to sneak in some small activities during the week, and bigger activities on the weekend.
So here we go...
1. Decorate for Christmas
2. Read "Yes Virginia, There is a Santa Claus"
3. Write a letter to Santa
4. Movie Night!
5. Listen to Christmas songs
6. Holiday Mini Lights Session
7. Make Christmas cookies
8. Tobogganing (if there's snow!)
9. Christmas craft
10. Make our charitable donation to Plan Canada
11. Make a paper snowflake
12. Make a Christmas tree ornament
13. Visit to Cumberland Heritage Village
14. Annual Stacey-Pratt Christmas Chocolate Making

20. Christmas dinner out with friends!
21. Go and cut down our Christmas tree! Decorate tree.
22. Christmas potluck with good friends
