Christmas Joy: Tradition, Expectation, Discovery

When the calendar flips to December 1, our family does something each day to celebrate and build anticipation for Christmas. Here's a look at some of what we've been up to...

Decorating the tree
Making salt-dough ornaments
Learning about Jesus' birthday
Making homemade wrapping paper
Preparing for a white Christmas
Assembling Operation Christmas Child boxes
Making cookies
Reading Christmas books and watching Christmas movies
Decorating a gingerbread house
And just think, it's only December 10! Fifteen days of Christmas fun remain...
