Holiday Traditions
Some traditions are ones that have been around forever; some are ones that people just do because they’ve always done them.
Last year, I decided to start a new tradition for my niece and nephew. Inspired by something I saw in Martha Stewart, I decided to create a gift advent calendar. A gift a day through December, counting down to Christmas.
It’s just a mix of silly things: tape, pencils, pens, bookmarks, erasers.
If you click through to see the Martha Stewart inspiration, you’ll see my version is much less crafty and polished than Martha Stewart.
Any suggestions for little things to use? I have about fifteen odd things gathered, but still need more!
What are some of your favorite new or old traditions?
