Christmas is, yet again, almost here! This page will be updated daily and each day will have a different tip or trick to help you prepare for the 25th of December! Some ideas for this countdown have come from this website;
24 Days to go
The 1st of December- this day always seems to creep up on me and I am almost never ready for it. Today you should decorate something! It can be anything you want. Decorating something helps get you ready for the festive season and everyday when you see what you have decorated it makes you excited all over again!
23 Days to go
The 2nd of December- it is now beginning to settle in- how much you have to do in the next 24 days! Today we want you to make a list. A list of things you have to buy before Christmas, this way if you still haven't decided what to get someone you can spend some time thinking about it and still get the present before the Christmas Eve rush.
22 Days to go
The 3rd of December- Today you should do something nice for someone. Saying one nice thing can completely change someone's day and make the festive season much better for them.
21 Days to go.
The 4th of December- Create your own wrapping
paper!
Simply find a piece of large paper (butchers paper works well) and cover it with decorations!

Tonight go for a drive or a walk and look at all the colourful Christmas lights that cover the houses. Don't forget to put out your Christmas stockings and a treat for Santa and the reindeer. Merry Christmas...
