Articles Advent Calendar - December 14th

[Brad]

Over these next 25 days, the Articles Department will be bringing you their rendition of the classic Christmas Advent Calendar! Advent Calendars that we are used to usually have little chocolates in them, and I'm sorry- but there's no chocolate in these ones. We will be presenting a small little snippet of reflection for you to answer a couple questions too.
There are prizes involved, so the more you participate the more chances for you to win!

Today is Day 14 of 25.

"Is your house on fire Clark?"
"No, Aunt Bethany, those are Christmas lights."
I always put my decorations up 12 days before Christmas (12 days of Christmas lalala♪), always gets us in the mood and sticks to what I think are traditional values!

What does your family do in terms of trimmings, etc.?

Umm we dh have a tree in recent years but I remembered we have an angel plush thingy on top of it when we had one

This year we're putting them up little by little. My mum went insane last year when we put them all up in one day and it was horrible and nothing worked and she ended up crying. So this year we've been putting up little bits since last weekend. The Christmas tree arrives today tho and I think that's almost the last thing to decorate!

Put all basic products up on one day then decorate the next.

We used to literally turn our full house into Santa's grotto. Things hanging from the ceiling, tinsel on the fireplace, angels on the tree. We'd all decorate the tree but then I'd always spend ages re-arranging it because I need to be so tidy and everything.... obviously then my dog'd mess it up by eating the balls or barking at her reflectioon in them because she's stupid.
