Zach put our Christmas girl in the #1 bag for December 1st this morning. This is my favorite countdown. I love watching the little girl move closer and closer to Christmas Eve. It's a great visual for the kids to see where we are at in the month and to see that Christmas is in fact getting closer and closer!
Kate was the lucky girl this morning to get the first piece of chocolate. :-)
Zoe helped me make a paper chain last night and she was the first to take a link off this morning.
Noah was the first to put a decoration on our "drawing tree". I printed the tree off here.
Tonight, Eleanor will be the first to put an ornament on our "Scripture tree". There is a scripture verse on each ornament that answers a question about the birth of Jesus. You can find this countdown here. Go to page 26.
Emily will pick and unwrap the first Christmas book to be read tonight. The kids LOVE this countdown activity!
Do you have a special Christmas countdown activity? I'm always looking for new ideas. :-)

I am doing the book idea after seeing it on your blog last year. So far the kids have loved it.
Now I just need to find 9 more Christmas books in the next week or so. Hopefully the library still has some.
LOVE your traditions!!
