This is a good occasion to introduce a tradition that is commonly practiced in Scandinavia. Its the Calender of Advent, basically a Christmas Countdown. Every day has its own ”lucka” followed by the number of the day, ”lucka 1"! is december 1 and "lucka 24" is Christmas eve, which is the big day in the Scandinavian counties. As an adjustment to the rest of the world my Calendar of Advent will run to ”lucka 25” or ”Luck 25".
My Calendar will comprise of special and interesting photographs. Usually a Calendar is a picture of something Christmas like, Santa, snowy Christmas trees, the Nativity sceen and has 24 or 25 little openings that you can open each day with a little image behind it, or a little peace of chocolate or a little present, the imagination is the limit. Kids love these things.
Christmas - 24 days!
