Christmas Advent

So I remembered to buy some chocolate Advent calendars for the kids this year before we left on vacation.  Only problem is...how does chocolate relate to the true meaning of Christmas (besides the fact that it often helps Mommy be nicer and calm down from rough days.)

But serious, I feel like I need to incorporate something more with this commercialization of counting down until Christmas.  Enter...the scripture chain.  After browsing Pinterest, I came across this blog:  http://www.thethingsilovemost.blogspot.com/2011/11/our-other-traditions.html that had a list of scriptures from both the Book of Mormon and the Bible relating to Christ.  The scriptures are super short, unlike other scripture chains out there, which really will make it palatable for my children while they wait anxiously to devour their chocolate for the day.

Let's see how it goes.

*Happy Holidays to Everyone!*
