This is a story about your five senses. Each week in December we'll be counting down a new way to celebrate the season. Simple, ordinary, and totally do-able. We hope this Out of the Ordinary advent countdown calendar brings you practical ideas and real joy right in the middle of your ordinary, extraordinary Christmas season too. 

Follow us on Instagram to get a peek into our family's Christmas traditions too.
