I grew up with an advent calendar that had a little stuffed tree that you moved from pocket to pocket. Nothing was ever in the pockets but we loved the anticipation of the holiday and the little ritual of moving the tree. I repurposed a little toy reindeer to do the same thing for my kids (6 and 2) and so far...they're equally thrilled by it! I always appreciate these recentering posts -- we're all doing great and all quantities of magic still = magic ;)

"Make Magic but skip the Magical Thinking" - nailed it.

Currently agonizing about whether we are going to spend like $90 for some Christmas light zoo thing that requires crossing a bridge and staying up too late. Maybe that's a no for me dawg. Also, we had a totally shit tantrum filled time at a Christmas tree farm 2 years ago, gonna enjoy a parking lot Christmas tree this year :)
