This is the third year that I'm doing activities with my family every day during Advent. Every year I write our list of activities from scratch because I have lost my list from the year before. There is the obvious downside of it taking a little more time each year, but the up side is that every year, I get some great new ideas from the huge pool of talented bloggers out there.
Today, I'm sharing my list for this year, as well as a few of my favorite lists from around the blogosphere. This list isn't in any particular order because we're drawing them out of a cup every day. There are a few that are pre-scheduled because they require some planning.
