I'm a little jealous I didn't think of them first. ;)
This is by far one of my favorite times of the year. I love the Christmas season and all that it has to offer: lights, family time, presents, snow (or the thought of it), cinnamon smells, Christmas dinner (best meal after Thanksgiving), chilly evenings and fires in the fireplace, the music, sounds of bells, scarves and other winter attire, and some of my very favorite movies!
In order to take in all that I can this season, I decided to make a list of 25 things I want to do before Christmas day; hence, the advent idea. The beauty of how I created my advent calendar is that I can change around the to dos and dates....I like having a plan, but I love it even more when that plan can be flexible. :)
Okay, okay so my list of things I will accomplish before (or on)December 25th:
1- hang up christmas wreath
2- make my gift wish list
3- get out the christmas tree
4- go to a christmas party
