I started the ten days of Christmas when Katie and Lolo were quite little. The ten days starts on my birthday and ends on Christmas Eve. I bought the girls ten gifts. They open one each day (in theory) and when the last one is opened they know that the next day is Christmas!
I started this tradition partly in remembering when I was young and Gramma and Grampa Brown would send a box of small wrapped gifts from Florida. We would get to pick one each day and then open the rest on Christmas. I remembered how thrilled I was to get to open some early. How exciting it was to pick one out of the box hoping it was something good. I was always thrilled no matter what it was.
When my girls came along, Kathryn picked up this tradition and sends them the ten days. She went a bit crazy this year so it is the 13 days of Christmas! Eva was so excited when she opened this craft. She had to sew the stocking together and then decorate it. She insisted it be photographed! So here it is... a masterpiece!
