Christmas Countdown Calendar

This year I am determined to enjoy Christmas, I am usually quite the bahhumbug. But it has become much better with kids, they make it so much more exciting. Last year I was looking at this blog and thought her advent calendar/christmas countdown calendar. Last year I bought one after Christmas and here are some of my ideas for the activities for the different days. What do you think?

• Put up and decorate the Christmas Tree
• Go for a walk at night and look at all the lights
• Go to McDonald's for dinner
• Make cookies and decorate them
• Santa needs some room for your new toys. Donate 5 toys to charity
• Read a Christmas story
• Decorate a gingerbread house
• Make a glitter shape
• Make a fort
• Color a Christmas picture
• Buy food for the food bank
• Make paper snowflakes
• Have an indoor picnic
• Have hot chocolate with all the fixings
• Write letters to Santa Claus
• Use puppets to tell bedtime story
• Have breakfast for dinner
• Make decorations for the tree
• Have a camp out around the Christmas tree
• Wrap a toy and take it to a charity Christmas tree
• Go out for dessert
• Dance like crazy to music
• Watch a Christmas movie with popcorn

Till Tomorrow
