advent activities :: 2007

This year we actually came up with 24 activities and I actually printed them out (in red & green! so festive I am) and put them into the little match box advent calendar I made last year.

The pretty little boxes that last year sat around pretty & empty.

So, yay! me.

1 :: watch The Muppet’s Christmas Carol

2 :: get christmas tree

3 :: decorate christmas tree

4 :: hot chocolate with all the fixings

5 :: sing-along with Charlie Brown Christmas carols

6 :: watch A Charlie Brown’s Christmas

7 :: watch Happy Feet in penguin pjs

8 :: hang Christmas lights on the porch

9 :: make Christmas cookies

10 :: write lists for Santa

11 :: donate food in bins at preschool

12 :: make red & green paper chains

13 :: go shopping for toys to donate

14 :: eat chocolate beans

15 :: hang up gumdrop wreath

16 :: go see santa!

17 :: watch Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer in (in ruldolph noses)

18 :: set up train around tree

19 :: go out for pizza

20 :: drive around looking at Christmas lights in pjs

21 :: make pancakes for dinner

22 :: find the North Pole on the map

23 :: hang stockings

24 :: put out cookies for santa and carrots for reindeer

It's a bit tv/food/commercial-aspects-of-Christmas heavy (ie: jesus-free), but I can live with that.
