A New Christmas Tradition???

Back in September, Logan and I saw the Lego Advent Calendar on sale at Target. We both remarked that when it gets closer to Christmas, that would be fun to get. WRONG!!! When it gets closer to Christmas they will be all GONE!!! So after searching high and low, even at Legoland, I knew I had to go to plan B. I came across this site a while back, Bella Dia , and was inspired but it was Nov 30th, so time was short and I didn't want to spend much dinero. So I numbered 24 paper lunch sacks and started to plan.
Day 1 - the Lego consolation prize

The other days varied...crafts from Bella Dia and other sites, stationary for Santa's letter, reading a Christmas book,or doing a printable activity and as we got closer to Christmas and vacation started the activities included building gingerbread houses, visiting Santa, looking at Christmas lights, playing card games, making cocoa spoons and drinking cocoa around the tree while reading Polar Express.
And on the 24th, another Lego creation!!

Even though I threw this together at the last minute, it was fun. Next year, I'd like to find a cuter presentation, maybe something like this or this or this one. But then again, I might just save some time and pick up one of these...

We'll see...
