25 Days of Christmas

In order to get into the Christmas Spirit, we spent one night this week planning out activities for each day leading up to Christmas. Now we have a calendar full of holiday events to look forward to every day. Some are big - like the Nutcracker. Some are simple - like reading a Christmas story or baking cookies. Fun ones include skiing and caroling. Others are our yearly traditions - like a Shepherds dinner and decorating the Christmas tree. Tonight we did something new. We attended family night at the local Festival of Trees. It was fun to see all of the different and clever trees. Unfortunately, we missed Santa by a few minutes. But the girls assured us that it was OK, because that wasn't the real Santa anyway. How could the real Santa travel all of the way to Sandpoint right now? He's too busy getting all of the gifts ready, right?
