The advent activity for the day is to watch our town&#8217;s small (very small) Santa Parade. The parade only has a few floats, but Santa and a firetruck make an appearance and the kids think it&#8217;s wonderful.  We can hand-in our Santa letters during the parade, so the the kids got 2 blank template letters to Santa in their advent today. The pixy was writing his own letter to Santa this morning. The Santa advent for today also contained 2 blinking Rudolph noses from to wear during the parade. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"166\" src=\"https:\/\/ahouseofplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9069-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahouseofplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9069-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ahouseofplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9069-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/ahouseofplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9069-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/ahouseofplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9069-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/ahouseofplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9069-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"165\" src=\"https:\/\/ahouseofplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9072-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-165\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahouseofplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9072-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ahouseofplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9072-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/ahouseofplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9072-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/ahouseofplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9072-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/ahouseofplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9072-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"163\" src=\"https:\/\/ahouseofplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9068-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ahouseofplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9068-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ahouseofplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9068-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/ahouseofplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9068-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/ahouseofplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9068-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/ahouseofplay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG_9068-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To my delight, in her letter, my daughter declared she was only &#8220;mostly good&#8221; this year and would like a tie dye kit from Costco.
