Today was our first day of our 24 consecutive days of doing something before Christmas. We read part of the book The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas as we always do, but didn’t quite finish it as we had a few things we had to get done. Our special thing today was that everyone got their advent calendars and they opened the first door. A very small thing today. Since I have done so little planning this fall I imagine there will be a lot of small things and maybe a few bigger things we might do.
Bethany also finished putting the lights on the kitchen tree. I do love our little kitchen tree and I wanted to immediately slice the oranges and put them in the oven, but we have no oven. Ours died about 3 weeks ago and we are still waiting to get a new one. It is supposed to arrive on December 11th. I sure hope it does as we use the oven so much this time of year – as most people do. So, baking will have to wait and so will doing the orange slices for the kitchen tree.
