Every year in December I pull out all our holiday books and the kids choose one to read every night until Christmas Eve when we read The Night Before Christmas. Last year, I (on Bella Dia) created, or linked to, a craft or activity that went along with a book and called it our Christmas Book and Activity Advent :) Beginning on December 1st, I'm going to be linking to those posts everyday here on The Crafty Crow so you can play along if you'd like.
