Every year when we get the Christmas decorations out there are 2 things the kids fight over. Who gets to put the Christmas tree topper on and who gets to start the advent calendar. Luckily I blog and so I can just hop on the computer and look at last year’s pictures of tree decorating and find out who did the tree topper the year before. As for the advent calendar…that one was more difficult. So, for posterity (and my sanity next December) Téa got to start the calendar this year. Next year, it’s Calista’s turn.
The reason for the fighting is that the person who starts with Dec. 1’s ornament gets to also do Christmas Eve’s ornament which is a the coolest one (Santa’s head). I know. Sounds exciting, right? But I have fond memories of fighting my brother over the same thing every year growing up. Although there were only 2 kids in our family so I got to do the cool Santa ornament every other year. Our poor kids have to wait longer. It’s the coolest advent calendar. My parents picked it up while we were living in the Philippines forever ago.
OK, moving on. Here’s proof that we decorated for Christmas.
