Our makeshift advent calendar is less then perfect, barely pretty really, and that is ok. I have let go of my desire to tinker and make it perfect, because to my little ones, it is just how it should be. We have filled each day with activities, such as "Write a letter to Santa", "Decorate our Christmas tree", "Go for a drive and look at Christmas lights", "Get a gift for a giving tree" etc.
This morning, I am reading the letters written so carefully to Santa and chuckling to myself every time.
What great ages these little ones of mine are, enjoying the season just as it should be, excited for every moment.
