December in general has a different feel...
It warms your nose and brings the edges of your smile up a little further. I remember before I was even pregnant with Max- I was excited for my future "kid" -I couldn't wait for holidays and traditions....some old- some new.
Wanting your child to feel the same happiness you experienced in childhood. You think you will remember all you want to do- and the years go by faster than they feel.
The Holidays, especially go by in a blink. Still wondering where November went...
Nana always got all the grandkids advent calendars for Christmas- like clockwork Dec. 1st we had a flap to peel back and if we were lucky...there was chocolate.
Such a simple thing that meant so much when you are so young. It was a moment to look forward to... those carefree,sugarplum moments that lasted a whole month before a fresh New Year!
Georgie Girl NYC was a blog that I followed years ago and she did a post on a book advent .
I LOVED the idea and made note to remind myself in a couple years to do the same thing.
This year is the 4th year and has been the most fun because I feel like Max really looks forward to the book before bed- it's kind of "our thing". I have replaced a few books each year with more "age appropriate" books and i hope its a tradition that sticks.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
