Christmas Countdown

Christmas is one of my favorite holidays. I love giving gifts and spending time with family and friends. We started counting down to Christmas Day last year by wrapping 25 books and Caden got to open one each day.  We are doing that this year and hopefully every year from now on. We're also doing a little advent calendar countdown with a Christmas angel guy to count down to Christmas Day and a chocolate advent calendar, which is a German tradition that my family did as a kid. Hopefully we'll read lots of great Christmas stories and watch Christmas movies, eat good food, and enjoy time as a family. May your family be blessed this Christmas as you reflect on Jesus, the reason for the season.

To start the Christmas season, we put up our Christmas tree. Caden loved it!
