Tradition #3

#3- I remember in elementary school, whenever December rolled around I would take out the little calendar tree and hang it on our front door. And every morning I would go and move the mini Santa down a day, getting closer to Christmas. I would count how many days until Christmas and excitedly announce it to anyone who would listen. It was my job, and a very important one if I do say so myself. 

So now, just for the sake of tradition I still move the little Santa down everyday. During December i always know what day it is, without fail- thanks to my trusty tree calendar.

As I start getting older, when my mom decorates the house for Christmas she asks me, "Do you still want to hang this tree on the door."

With no hesitation, as you would guess, my reply was, "Of coarse!

Do you see little Santa's head popping out of today's date? - the 14th.

Now do you understand why I like it so much??
