1) Does your family countdown to Christmas? If so, how? (for example: an Advent calendar)


2) How do you store or display your Christmas cards?


3) Do you send Christmas cards? If so, how many do you normally send?


4) Does your family take Christmas pictures?


5) I see some cars with wreaths on the front of them. Do you decorate your car for the holiday?


BONUS:


Are you listening to Christmas music yet?

Yes, we have an Advent calendar; and an Advent wreath.

We hang them on the main banister going up to the second floor

Yes

Definitely, this is one of our favorite traditions, we have several countdowns. We have a nativity based advent calendar where we first put up the animals (ox, donkey, etc), then a few stars, ending with the people and by Christmas Eve we have a full nativity scene. We also have a Santa holding blocks that get changed daily "15 days until Christmas". This year we added the books I mentioned in another thread, they choose a wrapped Christmas book each night to read together, by Christmas Eve there will be only 1 book to choose: The Night Before Christmas.

2) How do you store or display your Christmas cards?

I have a little tree stand thing for regular cards, and I put photo cards on the wall where we can enjoy them. I LOVE getting photos!

3) Do you send Christmas cards? If so, how many do you normally send?

Yes, about 100! I skipped the past two years, just never got them printed out (I send out photos I put together myself, from the year) so I'm determined to get them out this week.

4) Does your family take Christmas pictures?

Not formal, the kids did until about 4 years ago but now we just let my mom or brother take informal portraits on Christmas Eve.

5) I see some cars with wreaths on the front of them. Do you decorate your car for the holiday?

Nope, I have considered it though, I have a Jeep with a tire thing on back, that would be kinda fun!

BONUS:

Are you listening to Christmas music yet?

Without a doubt, love my Sirius, have it on Holly in my car, my house, and my computer.

**We don't exactly have a countdown to Christmas.
