Day 62: ADVENTS EVERYWHERE!

December 1, 2022

Dear Disney,

Hi! It’s Darling making my first letter to you. How I wish you were here to witness all the positively wonderful moments you’ve made in families everywhere. I guess I’ll have to settle with this blog of letters and hope you can peek in every once in a while, wherever you are, to take in the legacy of Disney.

As the title suggests, Jim Dear indulges my love of advents and countdown calendars in our home. During Christmastime we have ADVENTS EVERYWHERE! We are up to 9 advent calendars so far: 3 wooden houses with 24 drawers, 2 plush pocket calendars, one wooden tree with 24 magnetic ornaments, a Baymax and Hiro Advent Pin, and finally a lovely handmade sewn Cookie Count with a bowl full of fabric cookies for each day until Christmas…and a partridge in a pear tree! Whew.

For the past few years Jim Dear has gone above and beyond and gotten each of our children and I an advent full of special little things for us to open each morning before we bundle ourselves up off to school and work.

This year I received a wonderful advent from lovepop, a business that creates lovely 3D cards ranging from birthdays to New Year’s and Christmas too. My advent is called Mickey and Friends Christmas Tree Adventure. The back reads:

Countdown to Christmas with Mickey and all of his friends! Mickey and Minnie absolutely love decorating for Christmas, and it all starts with a tree! Open a pouch each day and follow in their adventure as they overcome obstacles, make new friends, and celebrate the holiday with their beautiful tree!

The box it comes in is very sturdy and the color palette is dreamy and old fashioned. I am so excited to open a new piece for the next 24 days and share it with you!

Here is Day One’s offerings:

Until next time!

Sincerely,

Darling
