This is how Dale's family counts down to Christmas. Dale made these as a kid and now we make them too. They are super easy and fun. Each kid colors their own paper with Mary and Joseph. When they're colored, cut them out and glue the path to the top of an egg carton. Bethlehem is glued to the end of the path. Mary and Joseph are glued to a craft stick. With a knife poke 12 holes in the path for each egg cup for Mary and Joseph to go in. Put a candy kiss in each cup. For each of the 12 days before Christmas the kids get to move Mary and Joseph one spot closer to Bethlehem and get a treat.

Those are so cute! What a fun tradition to keep up!
I remember certain members of the Rencher family eating all of their kisses in one sitting - all that would be left was a silver ball of foil in each egg cup!
Thanks for posting a copy! They turned out cute!
What a cute idea!
Awesome! I remember making those and some siblings mysteriously finding some of theirs "missing"?
