Countdown to Christmas

We have lots of Elf on the Shelf ideas throughout December too. This has been a tradition for about 8 years now, and despite our son knowing that Twinkletoes is not real, it makes it even more magical, not less.

We’re just a hop, skip, and a jingle away from the most wonderful time of the year, Christmas!

With the air getting colder and the holiday spirit brewing, it’s time to dust off those stockings and start the countdown to the big day.
