Christmas Traditions

Hmm, I wonder where today's number is?

Today, as part of my Christmas festivities, I thought I would share some Christmas traditions that take place in our house.

First of all, as you can see above that is my advent calendar. I didn't want any of those ordinary pet advent calendars. I love chocolate, I reckon it's through living with Simon that has sent me choccy crazy!! I love the stuff, so naturally I can't wait until I can open my calendar every day. In this Doctor Who calendar you get either a dalek or a TARDIS on the chocolate, and some days you get little gifts too!!! YAYYYY!!!

Here's me with a Christingle that I have made. A Christingle is a special symbol seen at Advent which reminds us of the love of Jesus. For you fact fans out there, the orange represents the world, the red ribbon represents the blood of Jesus, the fruit and sweets are supposed to be the fruit of the earth and the four seasons, plus the lighted candle represents Christ, the light of the world.

Hope no one's looking so I can have a quick nibble of the sweets!!!

That's all for now, check back soon for more about my Christmas experience.

Tom.
