With December approaching I have been putting my list of family activities together ready for my simple advent calendar to start the countdown to Christmas Day
I am recycling my little envelopes from last year, each decorated with a sweet festive picture. I'll print off the list of crafts and treats and put one in each envelope, with the more time consuming ones planned for the weekend.
I'm going to hang the ribbon across the window again, which makes a super start to our Christmas decorating.
The activities for this year are
Find the Christmas Cd's and have a Christmas dance
Christmas crafting! Make paper chains
Make gift tags with old Christmas cards
