On The First Day of Christmas.....

My grandparents gave to me an advent calender and yummy candy. Every year my mom and dad do the Twelve Days of Christmas for my kids. They are giddy every morning as we sit by the glowing Christmas tree. Who gets to open it? Who gets to read the poem attached? We have to have a system or there will be tears. I think it is such a fun tradition and I wanted to share the excitement of it with everyone. On The first day of Christmas they gave them Christmas candy, the advent candle pictured below (totally from my childhood), and a cute elf advent softie that has a pocket for each day. You move a tiny wooden candy cane to the day's pocket. Cute. Stay tuned for more Twelve Days of Christmas excitement!
