Jasia's Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories

The Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories is comin' around again! This themed writing project originated 2 years ago and was a popular way for genealogy bloggers to record their Christmas memories. Thomas and I each came up with a list of holiday themes which he combined to create a daily calendar that corresponded with the dates of Advent.

To this day, the Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories is my favorite series of articles to have written for the Creative Gene blog. I'm seriously thinking of combining all my articles together in book form to pass on to my kids and hopefully someday to grandkids.

If you weren't following the Creative Gene blog two years ago, you might like to read my Christmas memories now. Here is a list of the articles I wrote for the Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories 2007.
