We're busy enjoying Christmas festivities with the kids. We decided to try an advent this year, but I got it up a little late. It only had 10 days on it when we got started... :-). We're doing different activities every day. So far we've decorated ginger bread houses (with friends!), worked on sugar cookies (with friends!), delivered cookie plates, made snowflake ornaments, and watched some Christmas movies. The kids count the number of days left on the advent every morning. I think they're getting quite excited about Christmas, although Bentley is worried because there aren't many presents under the tree yet. He wants me to get busy wrapping!
Something else we're trying - we purchased a number of Christmas stories, and wrapped them all up. Every day the kids get to pick a new one to open, and by Christmas we'll have them all out! They enjoy ripping open a new one every day. A fun tradition in the making.
