Once again my kids and I will be doing our seasonal book and activity advent. 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. The original advent was created on my other blog, Bella Dia, but I'll be sharing the links here for the next 25 days for you all to join in if you'd like. These posts also have their own category here on the right, Book Activity and Advent 2008.
