Hey! That’s actually a good question. We’re working hard to discuss this daily with our children-the reason we do it, etc. Santa seems to swallow it, regardless. I saw an advent calendar on pinterest today, where each day the child gets to open something having to do with a verse from the bible regarding Christ’s birth and and item to go with it. Our elf brings things to our kids every morning. Why can’t he bring that? It takes some more work, but it’s kind of a nice way to tie it all together. OR just do an advent calendar, as well. Or both. ;} Hope that helps. We’ve been working on this as well. Stay tuned…that little elf house Gindy built is about to turn into a manger. ;}

So I’ve been trying to figure out a way to do the elf (next year maybe) and have it tie in to Christ instead of Santa. Any suggestions??
I love your blog and stalk–er, read you daily : ) And I LOVE your ideas! You are officially my decor inspiration!
