Ok Banti dont think I am nutty, we DID NOT DO THIS last year because I couldnt commit because of my health, But it sure was missed by the kids
We start with a theme, One year it was dalmatians, another santa, another the grinch and so forth. you get the idea for our COUNTDOWN WALL
My kitchen wall is filled with holes yes, and each hole has history
We have brown bags from Dec 1st to Christmas Eve day. inside each is a small piece of chocolate for each kid, and a note with what activities, or whatever is scheduled for that day.
So each day we either do an activity, go somewhere to do something, give something, do something for someone else etc.
So its filled with fun each and everyday we are sure to be thankful for the birth of baby Jesus, They even make him a birthday cake every Christmas eve!
sorry so big, copy paste from fb
a few examples of our themed wall, and yes the family and sometimes my niece and older kids and wives come to help create the wall and to do the certain days activities too!
santa themed countdown wall
Countdown bags will have numbers and that days items in it
