After Thanksgiving our house is in full Christmas mode! In recent years, I have realized that Christmas is a lot more magical with children. To see the excitement and joy in their eyes makes the season that much brighter! Our oldest daughter is four and is the perfect age to finally start understanding the true meaning of Christmas and enjoy all of the fun festivities that come along with celebrating! This Santa Advent calendar is perfect for her to countdown to Christmas! Free printable and instructions listed below!
