So the best part about a Christmas advent is that if you don't get it done before December starts, you can always just use it for the 12 days of Christmas and that gives you a couple extra weeks to get it done.
Which is really handy when you find a cute idea like this Christmas Book Advent from Funky Polkadot Giraffe:
She wraps up a Christmas book for each day and they choose one to unwrap and then read it together. I am going to dig out our Christmas books from the bookshelf and then head to the bookstore to see if I can get enough for the 12 days of Christmas.

We do this. I collect books each year during the day after Christmas sale at the book stores. They are usually 50% off at that time. Some of my favorites include
The Christmas Humbugs (Colleen Monroe)
Little Drummer Boy (Loren Long)
Peek-A-Christmas (Cimirusti?)
and of course The Night Before Christmas.
Ahhhh! I'm so excited to be featured on your FABULOUS blog! Thank you - you made my day!
Jen, I will check the dollar store out!
Mobmom, thanks for the suggestions!
Mormishmom, it is a brilliant idea!!
We do this also, we do it the 24 days up until christmas,on christmas eve we read the story of Christ's birth from the bible. I usually buy my books after christmas when they are on sale. If you need a lot of books all at once I also use some from the library.
