Christmas Time Already?

I cant' believe the Holidays are upon us already. Where did the year go. Last week we got down our decorations for Family Home Evening. The kids went from box to box and ooooh and awed over all the neat treasures that had been packed away for 12 months. Noah especially wanted to put out everthing decoration even if it didn't have anything to do with Christmas. But that was just to much clutter for me. So we settled for the tree, stockings, the nativity set, and a few things that hung on the wall. One of those being the special advent calendar that Nana Wiley made for the kids. There are 25 squares numbered on one side with pictures of the nativity on the other. Undoubtedly they will argue over who's turn it is to turn the next one over. And since today was the 5th only 20 more days to go!!!
