Today Jan and Larissa talk about the countdown to Christmas. We talk about the idea behind a Christmas countdown and how it can build excitement, build joy for the holiday, remind you of the reason for the season, bring peace to an otherwise chaotic time of year and make memories that will last a lifetime.

You can find so many ideas online but here are a few links:
