COUNTDOWN to SANTA

[wadeallie]

I have a cute perpetual calendar-type countdown calendar from Hallmark (bought last year on clearance shelf) that has: COUNTDOWN TO SANTA on the top and blocks inside with numbers to count the days until Christmas. The highest the number those blocks went was to 95, so NOW we are officially able to countdown. YEAH! 94 days to go!!

This past week I rented 4 Christmas movies from the video store and watching them put me into the holiday state of mind and I completed some projects. My envelopes are ready for addresses (Christmas card exchange here) and I wrapped a couple gifts while watching them and burning Christmas wreath scented Yankee candles. Even my ds shared the movie ELF with me and we had forgotten how silly Wil Ferrell can be!!

Yup my little countdown Santa is currently sitting at 93 days to go. My DH thinks I'm crazy but DD8 loves changing it every morning and I think it adds to the Christmas season. And maybe make the days go a little quicker ;-) :sleigh:

Alisonmcg -- men think women are crazy in many, many ways. Your little countdown Santa sounds adorable. No wonder your daughter loves it! I'm with her! :grin:

Wadeallie, I am so envious of your great score from last year. The countdown calendar sounds so cute! :flower:

Bought something similar for my kids yesterday, and we put them out last night.

Thanks for the idea!

You'd think he'd be used to it by now :haha: But I think it's actually quite helpful because my DD8 can see how many days there are left and so she doesn't have to keep asking me ;-) It keeps the excitement levels up!

*gasp*

I thought the 100 day mark was right around Halloween -- man, it's going fast! You've inspired me to go down and get our countdown board...we usually start around the 100 day mark. Thanks for the push.
