The Eleventh Day

This morning our Elf, Bell, reminded us of the reason we celebrate Christmas. He had joined the nativity scene under our tree and was kneeling next to Jesus's manger. 

Our activity for today, as dictated by our countdown penguin, was to turn off all the lights in the house, turn on the tree lights and sit and look at the tree. Of course, we waited until it was dark outside so it would have the best effect. After dinner, Client One turned off all the lights while I plugged in the tree lights and pulled up some Christmas music in my phone. Honestly, it was peaceful and beautiful.

Tonight's book was Counting Christmas by Karen Katz. It starts with number ten and counts down to  number one. Of course, everything you count is Christmasy. 

And that's all for today! Good night!
