I had a few extra ones, 

I ran out of days and had to combine some

I could think of a ton more and some of these, mean more, 

like on the feast of St Nicholas, we will do some crafts and 

probably bake a special treat, but I didn't put that on the paper!

I have no real system for who gets to open, except to take turns

(that won't cause any arguments, right? --haha)

I also picked up some of those chocolate calenders today--Yay!
