Re: hello people
Hi!
We've been VERY busy lately!
We've always used the Christmas countdown calendars from the Friend magazine. 5+ years of archived issues including Decembers are here:
http://lds.org/gospellibrary/pdfmagazin ... -1,00.html
I have 4 girls and right now 3 of them are getting very hard to motivate for schoolwork. We always take the month of December off. We will go through tomorrow and then from Thanksgiving till New Year's is a holiday. (The youngest is totally wound up right now because her b-day is coming, followed by Christmas, starting Kindergarten curriculum, and moving up to a new Sunday School class.)
I might be the crankiest of all at this point. I already checked out the first bunch of library books I'm going to read during vacation. We just keep telling each other to hang in there till Wednesday afternoon.

Advent calendars
OK--I'm so bummed that the Friend magazine doesn't have a full-month Advent calendar this year.
I did an MSN.com search on "free children's advent calendars" and got all sorts of great ideas and was able to make one using materials from 2 or 3 different sites.

I may be a little late, since it's already into December, but you could make an advent calander of sorts by using Christmas socks, different sizes and patterns, held onto a piece of string or yarn, by clothes pins numbered 1-25. In each sock you could but a variety of things, either small gifts or pieces of a puzzle that you could assemble each day or blble verses.
