Journal Your Christmas - Day 5

I used to always have an advent calendar as a child - one of the ones where there is a small picture hidden behind the door, never a chocolate one. I don't say that as if it was a hardship though, to be honest I never even wanted a chocolate one!
When I was a teenager I decided adcent calendar were childish and enjoyed feeling grown up when I was allowed an advent candle to burn each day! Although, to be honest it was a little stressful making sure the flame didn't burn down the next days number too!!!
As an adult I stopped the advent count down a while ago. And then in 2009 I did my first JYC album.  Without realising it the excitement of counting down the days of December returned to my life as I rushed to the Inbox each morning to check for my prompt email!
This excitement continues!! Although now I have an iphone the process of picking up the daily email is even easier!!  The extra treat that comes with the JYC prompt is flipping through it to see if any of my own pages from the previous year have made their way into it!
This excitement is what I decided to celebrate on todays page:
