Christmas in July

July seems to be a great month for super sales on things that people will gift at Christmas. It gets me all excited because Christmas is my favorite holiday. So July being the 6 month countdown makes me bubble with excitement! Now that Bekah is old enough to understand Christmas, it makes me even more excited to introduce all of my childhood traditions and making new memories and traditions with her. 

The hottest Christmas tradition now is the elf on the shelf. Now there are so many opinions in this new phenomenon. I love the idea of it. I can make this tradition into what would be best for our family! 

Another tradition I have discovered in the last year is the Truth in the Tinsel advent curriculum. We bought the church curriculum for our EBC kiddos to work through and it turned out great! It brought a whole new light to the Christmas Story. 

So this idea came to me! What if I combined these two great ideas? My plan is to purchase the Truth in the Tinsel ebook from www.truthinthetinsel.com and have Bekah's new girl elf introduce each daily truth to her! What better way for us to incorporate worldly traditions with our Faith! 

I can't wait to get started and prepare for the soon to be upcoming Holiday season! 

Merry Christmas in July from our family to yours!
