Between that, the elf visiting every night, and our put the cotton balls on Santa's bead poster, our event tracking is pretty full. But, we do have tons of fun activities scheduled! They're just not on an advent calendar. Maybe I'll get to it next year--yours is so pretty and fun!

This week we are having an Advent Messy Church session (you can read about Messy Church here http://www.messychurch.org.uk/, it's great fun!) and I thought that one of the crafts families could make together would be a Christmas countdown like this. I have printed off the blank cards and borrowed some of your ideas for them to use if they want. Christmas can be such a busy and stressful time for families I really want to encourage them to spend time together. Thank you for this idea! xLauren Jewhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14590030871701474979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-63676389093483840802012-07-27T10:21:35.258-05:002012-07-27T10:21:35.258-05:00I love this!

She decorated the paper strips with markers and stickers and I assembled it. It's on our fridge and a fun family activity to tear off a link each night before bed.

I have been a tad radical for me (like to be 'just so'), and as time is not on my side I have hand written our 'events/things to do' (on your blank template) and my envelope fronts are not too fancy! I didn't have a box either, so I've popped them all over the Christmas tree!!!<br />Can't wait for the boys to get home and see our new family tradition!

I've used a paper chain so that my son could see the days left more easily but am now ready to make a more permanent display.
