Countdown to Santa

William has been asking the very important kiddo question:  "how many days until Christmas?"  

Each time I tell him a number, he counts on his hand to figure out how long he has to wait......and wait.......and wait.  

So, I decided to make a paper chain calendar with him in order to make the daily countdown a little more concrete.  William helped me loop the paper into a chain and staple the ends.  So far, he's really enjoyed the process of tearing off a circle each day and it's made waiting for Santa a little easier!
