Day 15 - Counting Down The Days
I think that one of the most fun things about this season is counting down the days until Christmas. When I was a kid my family had strips of felt that we hung on the wall that had 25 peppermints tied to them, and each year we would eat one piece of candy a day from December 1st through 25th. (Maxine, didn't you make those?) As the number of peppermints decreased each day, my excitement increased. I loved that! At our house, we have a chalk board - not so tasty, but it's still fun. Today as Jack wrote the number 10, I was filled with excitement! No, not everything is done - there are still things to be bought, hardly anything is wrapped, the kids' lists keep changing from day to day... but that will all come together. I just love Christmas day, and I can't wait for it to get here. In the mean time, the anticipation of it's arrival is half of the fun!

I love that little wreath and chalkboard! How fun to erase and right a smaller number each day until Christmas. I had forgotten about the peppermint felt Christmas calendar. Yes, I believe Maxine did make it too.
That's really cute. My mom has a little countdown Santa with number blocks that you change daily and the kids all love to have the honor of updating it.
