Advent is the time period leading up to Christmas Eve and Advent calendars help count down the days. Typically Advent starts on the fourth Sunday before Christmas but the exact date varies from year to year. To be consistent, those who use a standardized calendar will begin counting on December 1st.

Whether you recognize Christmas or not, it can be fun to count down to something exciting. In 2017, I did the Advent Challenge, a list of suggestions for wellness enhancing activities. For 2018, I will be posting every day (yes every day!) for 24 days straight. The challenge this year is to commit to the daily suggestions for wellness living.

Your first task…make a note to check here every day for the challenge du jour.
