Unfortunately, this Christmas was a little stressful - some because of our last minute trip to Salt Lake over Thanksgiving and then I wasn't as organized as I like to be - I didn't even get the "holiday" cards off until today (I figure if they're gone before the 1st I'm good - technically, that's still the holiday season, right?) Anyway, this year I just couldn't wait for the season to be over - I just didn't get to enjoy it all that much. Today, I was reading over a great article that had a 12 days before Christmas advent calendar with a short scripture reading and then a "task" to do each day. Each task focused on the REAL meaning of Christmas - serving others, remembering Christ, etc. I thought - I would LOVE to have the Christmas spirit throughout the year so I am modifying the advent to be the 12 months of Christmas - maybe if I start 'preparing' now for next season I'll actually be ready and unstressed when it rolls around again - can't hurt! I'll try to remember to post each month's reading and task for any of you wanting to do it with me!
Blessings to you in the New Year!

That sounds fantastic! We have an advent calendar with scriptures but some of them are a bit in depth for my kids...every year I say I'll find new ones, but at this rate...they will be age appropriate by the time I get around to doing it!
