The 12 "dates" of Christmas


We have started a new tradition in our house! We are doing the 12 DATES of Christmas. Every night from the 13th to the 24th we are doing a family date. These are my gold, frankincense and myrrh trees. Gold is wonder (thus the gold ornaments), frankincense is meaning (all the family and kid made ornaments for the last 23 years) and myrrh is usefulness. The myrrh tree is where I put the present each day for our date. We open it up as a family and it tells us what we are doing that night.

I really like your trees, what about posting pics of the other 4 that you are hiding in your home?

And what a great idea for the family "Dates". I really like it.
