The calendar provides 24 fun things to do online

Farms.com is pleased to once again help farm families get into the holiday spirit with its Holiday Countdown Calendar.

Beginning Dec. 1, when a user clicks on the appropriate day, the calendar will reveal a fun video, activity, or game.

These include decorating a gingerbread man as well as how to draw a gingerbread man.  There are plenty of wordsearch and scramble games as well as  fun Christmas videos.

“Farmers give so much of their time throughout the year, whether it’s tending to their crops and livestock, or being active community members,” said Graham Dyer, Farms.com President and CEO. “This is a small way for us to encourage farmers to take a few minutes for themselves and their families to enjoy the holiday season.”

Dec. 24’s window links to NORAD’s Santa Tracker to follow his journey distributing gifts to kids around the world.
