So. I have been pretty absent of late. Did you miss me? Well, things have been a bit rocky of late. There's been some pretty down right awful times and I needed to step away for a little while. I'm back now though and I am getting in to the Christmas spirit with the beginning of December and today I pulled Milo's very first Advent Calender off of the Christmas shelf (a place where I am putting all my Xmas related goodies; presents, decorations and all).
I decided, this year, to start a Christmas tradition for Milo and instead of buying the usual chocolate calender from one of the cheapo shops, I invested a little money in to a traditional wooden, house shaped advents calender from 'Idee' (link in German) and I absolutely love it! Milo has already had a peek and seemed to like it too thankfully. I have been collected lots of little bits and pieces to fill it with and Milo will open each little drawer to reveal either a little food treat, stickers, balloons, a mini car (from out of a Kinder Egg that I ate :)) and more.
I am a little nervous as to how it will all go. Whether or not Milo will get annoyed at there not being more treats inside or if it will become a fun little daily routine. Let's wait and see!
I love to read your comments so please feel free to let me know what you think...
I haven't seen an advent calendar like this before. It's adorable, I want one!
ReplyDeleteLovely isn't it! €30. I bought their last one.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say that I hadn't seen that one in there. It's gorgeous! So, what did he get on day 1?? Looks like coffee beans???
ReplyDeleteHamish is struggling with the concept of waiting another 24 whole days until Christmas. He's also worried that Santa won't come because there is no snow.
Anyway, I think I might get one that I can fill myself next year. I think it would be more fun to tailor the treats to my kids.
Just looked at the pic again and yes, they do look like coffee beans! They were little bears (actually freebies I got from the Templehof Business event I went to, from a bank!)
ReplyDeleteI love this Sarah! I want one for myself! :) hee hee!! Stacey x
