I like Advent Calendars to enjoy the daily countdown till Christmas. There are a lot of different kinds that I have thought of or my family used growing up.
* Lego has some you can buy where you put a little creation together every day.
* Some people have special felt trees and ornaments that you pin on.
* I have a small Christmas tree to hang 2 ornaments on every day.
* I also made snowflakes to hang a snowflake somewhere in the house every day.
* I made a __ days till Christmas sign that you change every day by writing on a paper and putting it in a page protector so we could write the numbers with a dry erase marker.
* My parents found a chain of small stockings that you pull something out of each day (candy, toy, family activity)
* A kiss a day till Christmas is a chain of candy kisses made by wrapping them in plastic wrap and tying in between each with ribbon and you cut one off and eat it each day.
* If you had window clings or other decorations of a winter scene or nativity you could put one up every day.
* If you had a lot of presents and had them in advance you could put one under the tree every day, but that is a lot of gifts. Ours usually just get put out as they get wrapped, or growing up my family wouldn't put my presents out till Christmas Eve or ban me from touching them, because I would guess what it was even though it was wrapped.
The past two years we just had the small tree. This year we added the snowflakes and days till Christmas sign. That's still only three and there are four of us, but I guess we'll have to look at Lego ones earlier next year.
What kind of Advent Calendars do you like?
