So cute! I’m doing Elf on the shelf for the first time this year, it truly doesn’t have to be stressful! My daughter just loves waking up looking for her! Also I started an advent with Christmas Books, I wrapped all the books, and each day she gets to open one that we read together. She loves it and so do I! We also have an elf on the shelf calendar, that she gets to pop ornaments for her little tree. I love this time of year, and the joy it brings!
Oh my GOSH I love that book idea!! So sweet! What a beautiful memory! 💕 Glad to hear of a parent that doesn’t get stressed out with Elf in the Shelf, too. Lol
So fun hearing about different traditions! I grew up a military brat and spent 3 years (3 Christmases) in Germany. Advent calendars are huge there and it’s a tradition now with my kids (adult kids now). I have thought about getting a reusable one from Target (that I can use year after year with the hubs). Aldi (I live in Kansas) has very affordable advent calendars (under $3 ) that I still buy for all my boys (and their girlfriends!) so fun and the boys still love doing their advent calendars every day of December until Christmas Day. ❤️🎅🏻🤶🏻🎄
