I've been racking my brain trying to come up with a new holiday tradition that promotes the reason for the season and I think I've found it. The Paper Mom household is all about good deeds during Advent. I've challenged my family to "do good" for others. Every time they do a "good deed" or witness a family member doing a "good deed" they are to make a link on our paper chain. It is my hope that they will find good in their heart as well as others and make an effort to help, be less critical and take a risk. I wonder how long we can make this paper chain go....
The World's Greatest Husband kick started the chain with two good deeds on our date last night....
- he called the police to report a stranded elderly motorist in town. AND
- When leaving a tip at the casino last night he apologized to our waitress that some of the tip was in quarters. Yup, he's a keeper.

What a wonderful idea! Be sure to keep us posted on how big the chain gets - it's very inspiring.
