The beginning of December starts off our advent traditions.
The boys each get a ribbon with stockings clipped to it, one for each day leading up to Christmas. Each morning the sock for the day has a little surprise waiting for them, usually a candy or small toy. As the month progresses, the socks disappear, bringing us closer to Christmas. It is a fun countdown.
We have also started another tradition for advent. 24 children's books are wrapped up and placed under the tree. Each night before bed, the boys pick a wrapped book and unwrap it. We read that book all snuggled in bed.
I must admit for this one, it was tricky to find Christmas books that were not $20 each. I relied on thrift stores so the selection is so-so, especially since I needed 24 of them!
