[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We started elf last year bc my then 11 yo wanted to help. I buy a kit and she does it all. Fun for her.

We do advents, but OP I see what you mean — I would never ever ever ever do again the types of advents that are an activity. How (not) fun is it to pull a random paper at 8:00 at night that says “have hot cocoa” or “watch a movie together” or “make cookies.” Then you have to tell the kids you’ll do it tomorrow. Disappointment. And now I have several of those tasks for follow up on, building and building.

Now, for holiday activities, I write the stuff we want to do. I take that list and make a “prep” list. The stuff we have to do to make it happen.

From Dec 1-12, I do the prep list. From Dec 12-25, we do the fun list.[/quote]

Why would the advent things be random?  Wouldn’t you be writing them and putting them behind the door so you know what’s coming?

We just do the open a door and look at a little picture one. So those are random, but maybe I am misunderstanding what other people do.[/quote]
