Counting Down to Christmas
My six year old has been asking me for weeks, “How many days until Christmas?” He tells me it’s because when it’s Christmas, it snows (though it looks like there’s a good chance of snow tomorrow.)
So I decided to make this Christmas countdown chain. We’ve done it every year, but usually not this soon! Each night we break off a chain and you can see how many days/links until Christmas. Keep reading because there’s a twist to this countdown chain.
Inside the links we put names of friends, family, and anything else we might want to pray about. Then when we break off a link, we read the name and pray for that person!
What a great way to countdown to Christmas while focusing on this season of giving!

Oh, I love this idea! Simple but brilliant!

That would work great for any big upcoming event like a birthday or a vacation! Thanks for the great idea!! And, thank you for the sweet comment on my blog!!
