SUMMARY:ADVENT DAY FIVE: #GivingTuesday Plan Canada Safe-Delivery Kit
DESCRIPTION:TUESDAYS IN ADVENT ARE GIVING DAYS!\nToday\, we will be donating funds towards a “Safe-Delivery Kit” at PlanCanada.ca.\nFrom the organization:\n\nThere are few bonds as strong as that between mother and child. Instinctively\, mothers worry about keeping their children healthy and safe. But this can be challenging in the developing world\, where diseases are prevalent and health care is limited. Given to expectant mothers\, these kits will make all the difference. From hygiene items to a warm wrap for swaddling little ones\, the kits are packed with essentials to safely deliver babies and empower new moms. This special gift will also improve access to health clinics and services for mothers and children – reducing worries alongside risks\, delivering good health and enabling them both to grow stronger\, together.\n\nCLICK HERE TO FIND A GIFT OF HOPE FROM PLAN CANADA\nWhat will you give today?\nReturn to the Advent Calendar 2017 Monthly View

SUMMARY:ADVENT DAY FIFTEEN: Family Drama Night
DESCRIPTION:IMPROVISE A CHRISTMAS MYSTERY RADIO DRAMA\nRound up your jingle bells\, your train whistles\, and all your best sound props! Inspired by last Sunday’s radio listening party and by a recent screening of Murder on the Orient Express\, we’re going to improvise and record a 30-Minute Christmas Radio Play tonight.\nOur focus will be on a mysterious murder or theft onboard a train that’s been weaving its way through a snowy route on Christmas Eve.\n \nWe’ll spend exactly five minutes generating the names and basic identities of our inspector and our very suspicious characters (at least two per family member) as well as that of our “victim” and what looks to be their manner of death (or the disappearance or their loot). And\, we’ll call out and write down the first 10 Christmas foods\, activities\, and objects that come to mind\, vowing to incorporate them\, somehow\, in our radio drama. What’s the name of our train\, for instance? And is there a “seasonal” murder weapon?\nGosh\, this reminds me of the Christmas Clue game we made with the kids five years ago!\n \nWill we discover who dunnit?\nOr will this be the first instalment of a serialized Christmas drama?\nReturn to the Advent Calendar 2017 Monthly View

SUMMARY:NEW YEAR'S EVE Movie Marathon
DESCRIPTION:NEW YEAR’S EVE MOVIE MARATHON\nEvery New Year’s Eve\, we order take-out (usually Chinese) and have a movie marathon.\nThese usually have a theme. We’ve done Sherlock Holmes\, Lord Peter Wimsey\, Hitchcock\, and Thin Man Movie binges. And\, last year\, we had a Transformation Movie spectacular.\nWhat will this year’s theme be?\n \nWell\, we’re still not positive. But\, it’s looking like it will be a fairly obvious one…\nWant a hint where we’re headed? (Though\, we just might change our minds…)\nWhat does the film above\, My Man Godfrey (1936)\, have in common with the two films below\, Holiday (1938) and After The Thin Man (1936)?\n \nDon’t forget to chill the bubbly!\n  \nRETURN TO THE 2017 ADVENT CALENDAR MONTHLY VIEW
