This year we took my nephew Keegan with us to go pick a tree. He was a little confused over the whole thing. He seemed kind of dazed. Then I brought out my 3 large plastic boxes full of Christmas Decorations and he woke right up. He opened all three and started pulling things out, 'What is this?' A decoration for the tree. 'What is this?' It goes on the wall. 'What is this?' It's baby Jesus, it's part of the nativity. 'What it is?' it continued - gotta love a 3 year old.
One of the big reasons that the Christmas Decorations have to go up on Thanksgiving Weekend is because of the Advent Calendar. I made it the Christmas I was pregnant, so it's as old as my daughter. Most years it has made it up in time to start counting, some years it hasn't. On the years that it doesn't make it up in time to start counting (mostly because it has been a bad year) that year only gets worse.
On the years that it makes it up, the Christmas Season starts off wonderfully. I'm happy to say 'It is up!'
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas Season.

Hi Sonia!
Awwww, Keegan is such a sweetie! :) Sounds like a lot of fun decorating with a 3 year old. ;)
Sonia, I relate (all too well) about what' you're saying here! We bought our Christmas tree on Thanksgiving weekend and it's still in a bucket in our backyard. Argh! I'm beginning to wonder if we're ever going to find the time to bring it inside and give it a proper trimming!
Your tree looks beautiful and I absolutely love your advent calendar!
Happy Holidays, my friend!
So glad your advent calendar made it up in time to start counting and that means it's gonna be a good year!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!!! So happy to have "met" you this year.
@Patricia - I'm so glad that putting the calendar will give me good vibes for the coming year - we need them around here. Wish you a Merry Christmas also.
