A few years ago my sister Abbie's family drew my little family for Christmas. She put a ton of work into putting together the "24 Days of Christmas". We loved it so much, it was the beginning of a new family tradition! The boys refer to the silent gift giver as "Buddy", and look forward to the project, service, or small gift they get in the morning.

This was was 2014 when Buddy brought them some decorations to decorate a little tree we already had. They loved having this in their bedroom all month!

This is an Advent Calendar that I picked up at Target the previous year on
​ clearance. They really enjoyed putting it together!

Poor little buddies were plum tuckered! They thought and still think these Santa hats are pretty awesome!

The Polar express- I found a free printable on Pinterest for the tickets. I had Hot Cocoa and goodies ready to go. They LOVED driving around town and looking at the Christmas lights. This picture of Hank melts my heart! He was giddy looking at the lights and my poor boyfriend Beck was devastated when it was all over!

Earlier in the month we made "reindeer food" and the picture on the right is them going outside to sprinkle the food on Christmas Eve. I just spray painted lids for baby food jars. We had Oats, Wheat, Red Glitter, Green Glitter, and Chocolate Chips. Here are the tags we used.

"The Pajama Elves" book is one of our very favorite days. I read it to the boys a few days before Christmas and they love the excitement and magic that come with this day! Abbie got ours on Amazon and I just wrap the same one every year!
Those were just a few that we've done. It has seriously been such a fun tradition to carry on with our family. You can spend a little money or a lot of money. This started while we were in medical school, so we didn't have a ton extra to spend. I became a pro at shopping clearance after Christmas in preparation for the next year. I hope this gives you some good ideas!
