Last year our advent calendar collected dust. This year we got it up just in time for the 1st to be open. Little envelopes fit perfectly in the numbered mailboxes. Here’s a list of what we’ll be doing this year for daily holiday cheer:
donate canned goods
put up wreath and stockings
write letters to Santa Claus
watch The Grinch
cut down Christmas tree and decorate
address and mail Christmas cards
make hot chocolate and read Christmas story in Bible&Book of Mormon
sign up to purchase gifts for a child
go to Barnes & Noble and pick up new Christmas CD
watch a Christmas movie
make a graham-cracker candy house
go ice skating in Central Park
take a drive to see Christmas lights and listen to Christmas music
put together care packages for ward missionaries
do a Christmas craft
make angel ornaments in remembrance of Camille
play a game in front of the fire
see Christmas tree at Rockefellar Center and Saks window displays
