We pretty much do something Christmasy every day leading up to Christmas anyways. So to make it "official" with a countdown would make it so much more exciting for the kids! We had a Christmas lunch yesterday that would work well. I made sandwiches and then cut them into Christmas shapes using Xmas cookie cutters, The kids loved them! I ate the cut offs as my lunch, so there was no waste. We do a traditional advent calendar with candy. But it's one i made and I fill it with their Halloween candy!! They don't seem to get that there getting excited over something that was already theirs! LOL. I love this idea! We pretty much do something Christmasy every day leading up to Christmas anyways.
