countdown fun

[Carly's Christmas Countdown Box]
...
We LOVE our countdown box. Carly's first stop every morning is to open the next little box. Sometimes the box has a little trinket - this morning there was a flashing snowman necklace. And sometimes it has a "coupon" - like for fingernail painting or yesterday's was a "special night with dad". The little coupon's remind me not to let the season slip by. We usually have coupons for riding around to look at lights, making Christmas cookies, making a Gingerbread House, Christmas movie night, etc. Activities that we would probably do or at least should do but sometimes just don't find time for.

We have an advent calendar but I like how yours has activities as the treats. Ours has boxes to open for each day, all are magnetic pieces that stick on a nativity board and the last box you open is baby Jesus.
We looked at Christmas lights tonight as we drove around for a while. The kids were in heaven but it's 80 degrees here so I found it hard to get in the spirit!
