Welcome welcome Mr. December, we have been expecting you! I wanted to first congratulate Nicole for winning the December issue of Herbal Roots Zine!I am looking forward to exploring Pine! Thanks to Kristine for her giveaway here at mamaroots. Nicole has a lovely post today about her families Advent Traditions for December. Being December 1 we set up our wood spiral that helps us countdown to Winter Solstice and Christmas. We use a wee little squirrel to mark Solstice and and angel to mark Christmas. I think I am going to add a King Laurin as we celebrate him on St. Nicholas Day.
One of the ideas for advent countdown from the book I posted yesterday was to make handmade fabric scrap stockings and add a number and hang from yarn garland and add a little something in each one. Though I think they are a super cute handmade item, I like using a wood advent spiral and using a candle to countdown the days. It helps us keep the flame going during the winter nights.
I look forward to sharing and hearing about your December family traditions!
