Holiday Traditions

One of our holiday traditions is the Advent Calendar. Several years ago, Ommy bought this cute little Advent calendar house that has numbered doors that, when opened, play the tune of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town". There are cute little figurines at the top of the house that move and dance to the music as well.

Stella loved this Advent calendar last year because she would get a chocolate candy treat when she opens the correct numbered door. And this year is no exception.

Desmond loves it too; he loves the music that plays as well as the treat (Twix) that he gets when he opens the correct door.

Every night after dinner, the kids really look forward to opening the numbered door of the day. Des even points to the house and asks to open the doors at random times during the day because he just loves to hear the music and watch the figurines move. So sweet!
