Countdown to Christmas

Starting December 1st until Christmas we started a new tradition called Countdown to Christmas. We wrapped twenty four books and let the boys pick out one to read every night before bed. It was our way to countdown to Christmas. We read the book each night all of us together by the tree. As something as simple as reading a book, this was by far the best part of Christmas. We all stopped what we were doing, got together for a few minutes (away from the chaos of our night time routine) to sit down and enjoy each others company while reading a book. We will definitely make this an every Christmas tradition.

And sometimes you had to read a book with wrapping paper on your head!
