We also change the way we do our advent calendar last year, in years past we have just had treats like lollies or chocolates but now we have activities etc. I loved it last year and so did the kids. I have started thinking about this years activities etc (some take a bit of organisation) so I thought I would share what I have come up with so far.
Here is the list (in no particular order)
- write Christmas cards
- a Christmas chocolate treat
- do Christmas puzzles (like word finds, colour by number etc)
- put up the Christmas tree and decorate the house
- write our letters to Santa
- a trip to Brisbane on the train to look at the Myer Christmas window and ride on Santa's train
- make gingerbread men
- wrap teacher presents
- visit the Christmas lights
- read a new Christmas story
- a trip to Australia zoo
- go to the movies and see a Christmas flick
- play date with friends
- make reindeer food
- make Christmas crackers
- Christmas cooking (shortbread trees, rocky road etc)
- watch a Christmas DVD with popcorn
- prepare Santa's plate
- track Santa on the web
- make a gingerbread house
- sew some Christmas decorations
- go the the Christmas parade/carols by candlelight
My next Christmas job - the Christmas gift list...this needs some serious consideration and action before I end up in a mad pre-Christmas panic!
