Advent Calendars

Today's prompt for our Christmas journals was about the tradition of advent calendars - a tradition I have solidly adhered to even as an adult! If you can't still enjoy a bit of christmas fun at 25, then its a sad state of affairs! I suppose one day I will stop having one but I do love getting to open the little door each day and of course getting a little chocolate fix first thing in the morning. They really do represent the start of the christmas season to me and once I start opening the doors, I want to get on with putting up christmas decs and writing cards too. This year I left it quite late to buy one and ended up going round the shops on the first of December trying to find advent calendars for me, my sister and Ed! I did eventually find some nativity advent calendars in Marks and Spencers, and the little pictures of my page are taken from the inner doors of the days I have already opened.

I've got a busy day tomorrow meeting the parents of all my form group - I really like the kids in my form so I think it shouldn't be a terrible day, but it will be tiring and my voice always goes after so much talking! I'll be looking forward to making my page at the end of the day, lets hope I can fit it all in...
