A Christmas Calendar Inspired by Tasha Tudor!

"The Days Until Christmas: Amelia's Favorite Things"
Amelia gets up early in the morning and works late into the night.
Christmas is coming and there is much to do!
 
For years we have been inspired by our friend Tasha Tudor's doll families. Tasha Tudor made her dolls look so real and we know that they were real to her. Our dolls seem very real to us, too. Our doll families have many children, cousins, Mums, and Aunties who like to do all the favorite things that we like to do best! 
 
Tasha Tudor created many delightfully fun Calendars for Christmas and Valentines Day.
 
Inspired by Tasha Tudor's Advent Calendars and delightful dolls, Diane and her daughter Sarah are making this years Christmas Calender, "The Days Until Christmas: Amelia's Favorite Things". This is the 4th year that Diane and Sarah have made A Calendar to Count "The Days Until Christmas" featuring Amelia's Favorite Things. Amelia and her family like to celebrate all the special days throughout the year. 
 
Here is the link to view our Calendar:
 
 "The Days Until Christmas: Amelia's Favorite Things" 
 
Everyday, starting December 1st, a new photograph should appear on the Christmas Calendar, however we ask your patience dear readers, as sometimes there might be a delay due to the weather (such as blizzards, ice storms, high winds and snow), technical difficulties, Finch Post delays, etc. 
 
The Corgyncombe Courant doesn't have a set time when we add the photograph of the day to the Calendar, as there are many other tasks to do and animals to care for. 
 
As it is a Christmas Calendar of Amelia's Favorite Things and Amelia is a doll who lives at Corgyncombe Cottage & Corg'ery, the photographs in the calendar are appropriately small. The Corgyncombe Courant realizes that their readers would like to see the photographs bigger. This had already been taken into account. Eventually, we will have A Closer Look on The Corgyncombe Courant, featuring larger versions of the Christmas Calendar photographs, plus additional photographs of the Christmastide happenings at Corgyncombe.
 
How we look forward to celebrating Christmastide traditions and the many surprises as we
Count "The Days Until Christmas" with Amelia!
