I always loved Christmas countdown calendars as a kid and so I wanted to continue the tradition and start something new for Ethan. I found this cute countdown garland on Etsy and I strung it along our fireplace. I added a little Santa to move across the days instead of taking a number down each day. I figured it would start looking pretty sad around Day 12!
A new tradition I wanted to start this year was from an idea I pinned on Pinterest last year when I was pregnant. It was to do a 25 books of Christmas countdown. You wrap up 25 Christmas books or any kind of book and you open one each night to read. I thought this was so much fun and Ethan just loves being read to. I thought every year I can wrap up most of the same Christmas books and a few new ones throughout the years. We started this past weekend and Ethan seemed really excited. He is going to be a present opening pro come Christmas with all this practice!
Can I open it now?
Hmm...what's in here?
I like opening presents!
Yay, a book!
Mmmm...tasty wrapping paper!
First book in the countdown, Santa's Workshop!
