I cannot believe it’s time for all things Christmas. I am so excited and am planning all of the fun activities we will be doing throughout the season, and I wanted to share them with you. Remember, you can have fun without spending a bunch of money every night. Something special we started last year and do every morning is an Advent calendar from when I was Knox’s age. I fill it with a Hershey’s kiss for each day. We read our scripture and I teach Knox about whatever the calendar has that day, and we instill the phrase “We get to eat chocolate in the morning during Christmas because…. JESUS IS THE BEST GIFT EVER!” Take these ideas and make them your own inside your homes!
