This year I've been taken with the idea of a book advent - reading a Christmassy book every day. I went through the girls' collection and found about 6 appropriate books, so a quick shop on ebay resulted in a few more and a trip to the library has got me to 23 (still waiting for another from the library).
I'm going to wrap them up and number them (library books first!). I was hoping to find some brown paper bags, but no joy at short notice, I could leave them unwrapped but then discovering which book is half the fun.
I've also got a Playmobil calender for the first time and the obiligatory choccie calenders (I'm sorry but I think they're a must!)
I'm not planning on a Xmas daily album this year, I've still got an uncompleted one from a couple of years ago and my Gratitude journal is untouched. I'm thinking I might get the girls to do a book review and maybe make that into a mini album instead.

Book reviews a great idea for a mini!
Great plan for advent. I would have lent you some lovely Christmassy books, if I had known. Still, you have your full set now - enjoy yourselves!
We have choccy advent calendars too - I buy the fairtrade ones, so I feel we're doing something worthwhile along with our chocolate scoffing!
great idea about reading a Christmas book every day! A blessed Christmas to you and your family! Patsy from

Such a lovely idea. I wish I'd thought of this when mine were younger.
