A couple of fun ways that we are warming up for the holidays...
Advent Calendar for the Family
We recently purchased a pretty wooden advent calendar at Target. I was looking for a non-candy way to fill it when a friend suggested these family activity envelopes. I LOVE this idea. We opened our first door tonight and found an envelope which read "family dance to christmas music". This was the perfect occasion to turn on my personal favourite holiday album, Motown Christmas. Too much fun. Miles has some serious dance moves that he's been hiding.
Elf on the Shelf
Another friend recommended this last year. Over Thanksgiving, a little red elf named Jack appeared at our house. He's been quietly spying on our crew ever since. This is a hit with the kids. This is the first thing they do when they wake up. I have woken up more than once now to Miles, face pressed into my sleeping face, saying "Where's Jack?".

Annie,
I have seen this idea and I too thought it was great!! We have also had ours up for a few days and it has also been a hit! Hope your countdown to Christmas is going well with no stress ;)
