And keep up with ornaments for each year(whether boughten or homemade). But other than that I don't know yet. I remember always making a construction paper chain when I was little...then taking one off each day counting down to Christmas. Maybe I'll try that with Rebecca. And definitely our advent calendar...but I'm already behind...I haven't gotten it out yet! And I still need to figure out what to put behind each door. All in good time :)Mary Voogthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03746442249734371029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4931315475570983898.post-72954957857566206192009-12-02T07:39:55.789-05:002009-12-02T07:39:55.789-05:00The only one I'm really looking to start is th...The only one I'm really looking to start is the Advent calendar or tree, so they don't take any extra effort at all. We've always done all of the others... we did them all last year and Kevin and I have done them together for years before that and I've always done them growing up. I think we'll end up adding more to the list as Carson gets older - like making homemade tree ornaments or something like that maybe... who knows. But I definitely don't think its too early for any of the traditions I've listed... I think all of these actually need to be started at a very young age (with the exception of maybe driving to see the lights). <br /><br />What traditions are you going to start this year?Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17847181183195866349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4931315475570983898.post-49790772891151015872009-12-02T06:19:22.591-05:002009-12-02T06:19:22.591-05:00sounds like some great traditions.

So don't work too hard trying to set them all so soon ;)The Voogtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05487791287508649970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4931315475570983898.post-13539571948223832152009-12-01T14:27:18.397-05:002009-12-01T14:27:18.397-05:00Oooh, that's a wonderful idea!
