brightest bulbs on the tree??

i've decided my kids miss the most obvious clues.

here's what we have at our house to count down to christmas...

1. the paper link chain that counts down till christmas
2. the advent calendar on the fridge that we do every morning
3. the advent tree that we add a new ornament to each day
4. christmas placemats with days 1-25

so you'd think it would be fairly obvious WHEN christmas arrives, right?

nope, every day since we got our tree up the kids walk down stairs and are totally bummed that santa didn't come yet.

don't worry sherlock, you've got no competition coming from our house :)
