Instead of an advent calendar, a pile of Christmas books - you read one each evening. What a gorgeous tradition!
Giftwrap a big old box, and keep it for discarded wrapping paper. What a great way to keep everything neat, and make the Christmas photos even more special!
I always find the best organisation tips a little too late - this handy guide has tasks for all the weeks from October to help spread the cost & workload! I do something similar, but it's always good to compare notes - great tips here!
Love this. In the true season of goodwill, focusing on others. Wonderful!
How have I been teaching for eight years and never yet encountered the sticky tape ball game?
One of my favourite memories of our Junior League New Member project was helping the kids to make gingerbread houses. Such fun!
I love lists like this! Always looking for neat ideas for Matthew and the boys in our families!












Oh forget the kids, I want to make a gingerbread house myself! ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat post, I love the idea of reading the books instead of using the calendar... I'll be doing this will my babies... thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou've just reminded me, I need to buy Gingerbread houses for the kids again. They had a great time decorating them one year...and I also love the wrapping a large box with wrapping paper idea. PERFECT! The pile of Christmas books look great, too...lovely pic!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the beautiful month of December!! ♥
