On the Eve of the Christmas Countdown

We've just finished filling the Christmas Countdown that will start tomorrow morning. We have a shortened countdown since we'll be traveling on December 17th, so we have 14 days until our Lemley Christmas.

We've already put up the tree, started wearing our Christmas pajamas and have already made batches of Christmas cookies, but the countdown is the most fun. We've tried to balance food, craft and educational activities, also considering which activities we decided to do on week nights, as we're often exhausted after a long day of work/school.

Playing with the Little People Christmas Village, together.

Here is our countdown:

I probably shouldn't publish this with all the uncited photos, but this is what I made for the calendar pockets:

We hope to share pictures each day. Let's have HOPE this holiday season!

(Here is the 2010 post. We did it last year as well, but I must not have published our countdown activities.)

Who are Los Lemleys?

Los Lemleys are John, Julie, Maximo and Lola. We're currently living on Rokko Island in Kobe, Japan. Here we write about our happenings and share photos of our life abroad.

We started blogging in 2007 when we had to keep family and friends updated on what was going on with our premature baby.

Over a year later, we transitioned from the Lo Maximo blog to Los Lemleys where you'll find vignettes of our lives as we travel, move, teach, and raise our third culture kids.

Disclaimer: This is NOT a cultural or literary masterpiece, nor is it intended to be. It's a way for us to document our adventures for our family and friends. It'll hopefully be something Maximo & Lola can look back on, since their baby book is a bit bare and she only has a meager folder with ultrasound photos and a legal document or two.
