Those were the words I woke to this morning.  Our Advent Fairy has successfully made her first delivery!

Last night we came home from school and gymnastics and unpacked the calendar.  This year our boy has decided that it should be placed on his bedside table.  The last two years it has been in the playroom.  The playroom was a good location, she could check that all were sound asleep and make her delivery in peace.  Although, sometimes she was busy with the number of deliveries needed and she would drop off later in the day and sometimes (very rarely) she just didn’t think the behaviour was good enough in this house!

Anyway the promised piece of chocolate arrived safely this morning, so all is well with the world as far as a small boy is concerned.

Advent Calendar

As I dropped him into class today he started to ask his friends if they had had chocolate this morning.  I suspect the conversations around other families being different and having different rules will be expanded to include that families can have different traditions too.

I love the magic that comes with Christmas.  I love the Christmas message; the story of birth and I love the way it draws families together to spend time with each other and to create special memories.
