I realized our Christmas calendar was already filling up... way too fast. It isn't even Thanksgiving yet, right??? We already have 12 different events to attend. We have several family traditions I was afraid would get left out (building our gingerbread house, delivering sweet treats to elderly church members, etc). I also have a new Advent devotion book I wanted us to read each night and do some activities from. So, here it is... my solution... (this is the part where you un-planning type people quit reading):
I made this calendar and hung it on our back door (which happens to be magnetic). The red are places/events we have to attend for church related activities. The blue is things I have for work. The purple is school related events. The green is our special family projects, and the orange is the devotion we are reading for the day. So, are you impressed or overwhelmed???
I do realize there will be more added as we actually get into December!
And... if you are wondering about the Advent devotion book, it is called An ADVENTurous Christmas by Lisa Whelchel (you know... Blair from Facts of Life). You MUST get it. It is awesome. You can get it on her site (where she will personalize it for you) or Amazon. It is a must have for the Christmas season.
