The Countdown.

The Christmas Countdown is well underway at our house. Adds some excitement to these dreary, winter days. And provides a little incentive to get some lazies out of bed in the morning.

Home-made Advent Calendar, this year.

Gathered my supplies from around the house. Christmas paper, stickers, ribbon, glue... and a stash of toilet paper rolls that I'd been collecting for a while.

Added some finishing touches... and then stuffed little treats inside. And here's one puffy-eyed rascal in search of some early-morning cheer.
