When B. was growing up, his mom made his advent calendar by stringing candy onto numbered ribbons and placing them in his stocking. Christmas Eve was always a small toy. Apparently, as b. got older, his mom said it was too much work to attach numbers to the end of each ribbon so she stopped adding them; there was then just ribbons and candy. According to B. it was better that way. Well, since this was our first year, we decided to do the labels. By we, I mean that A. and I started as a team and she finished about 4 or 5 and then got bored so I finished the rest. But, the tradition was started. Now, someone just remind me not to have a fire in the fireplace so we don't have melted chocolate all over the stockings!
