It's almost December, and this year I'm really getting into the spirit of the season. I'm very excited to take The 25 Days of Christmas challenge by Andrea at a peek inside the fishbowl. When I was growing up, I don't really remember having advent calendars. We might have had one once or twice, but had to share the chocolates between the three of us. So instead of more chocolate, this year we are going to start a new tradition and I'm hoping it will stick. Things never go as planned lately, but I love this idea, and I hope we can make it work! I also haven't quite figured out how or where to display our advent calendar, but I'll work on that this week.

2. Cut out paper snowflakes to decorate the windows.
