New Christmas Traditions



My friend Alicia does terrific things with her three year old daughter Sarah. One tradition that I've "borrowed" from them is the 12 Days of Christmas Stocking Countdown. Kate's at the learning her numbers stage, so I've eliminated the countdown factor. Anyway, it's a big hit. We talk about the number of the day, she points to it, and gets excited for the stickers or bubbles that lie in waiting in the sock. I think it's very fun. Looking at the other picture; we bought our tree when it was covered in 5 inches of snow, so it's not perfect. But we like it.

Oh yeah, you should be getting my package on Monday or Tuesday. I stood in line for 1 hour at the post office. That's how much I love you!
