Janell's 3rd Annual Christmas Countdown!

27 Days Until Christmas Folks!

Merry Christmas and welcome to my 3rd Annual Christmas Countdown! To say that I love Christmas would probably be a understatement! This time of year is literally my favorite. But why you may ask? Is it because my birthday is on the 25th? The candy canes and hot cocoa? Twinkling lights and gifts? Nope on all accounts, so let me tell you: I love Christmas because I love my Jesus. That my friends is a very true statement. When I think all that He has done, all that he went through, it was all for me...you...us all; it moves me. Jesus is just so wonderful I have to celebrate!  And with that said I am beyond excited about the countdown this year! I have been working on this for months, but before we get started here is a little History lesson!

Two years ago I was at Wal-Mart with my mom (sometimes I think we live there) and she saw a "Days until Christmas" sign. She suggested that I take a picture with it. I did, with my mouth open and before I knew it, the countdown became my "thing" (thanks mom!) .

Where it all began...

Soon people were telling me how much they enjoyed it and how it made their Christmas season better. I could hardly believe that me standing infront of a silly sign with my mouth wide open would make a difference. But it did! 
So last year I did the countdown again; however it was harder because Wal-Mart wasn’t counting down the days consistently like the first year. Then I had an idea! How about this year I do my own Christmas countdown! So several months ago I started prepping, and I am beyond thrilled to actually start! 

My goal is not only keep you informed on how many days until Christmas, but to also fill your heart with joy, love, peace and a whole lot of Jesus. So get ready for 27 days of Christmas bliss! 

This is how it will work: Throughout the next 27 days I will be of course posting the countdown, but also this year I will have a few fun giveaways as well! Ekk! I will also post Christmas Devos, Christmas crafts, tried and true recipes and so much more! So make sure to stop by here everyday to make sure you don't miss a thing! When you share my countdown or post pictures to Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, I have created a hash tag for you to use #janellschristmascountdown . That way we can all enjoy the fun and have a little Christmas community!

Now without further ado… The Christmas Countdown has officially begun! I hope and pray that this makes your Christmas just a little more amazing. I'll see you tomorrow!
