Christmas is a special time of the year that brings about so many wonderful family traditions. We all remember the anticipation of counting down the days until Christmas with a prized advent calender. In the cold and dark December days, Christmas brings warmth and joy… so let’s stretch out the excitement all month long!
We love the idea of adding special notes to advent calendars and also making them part of our holiday giving activities. You can download a quick DIY Kindness Calender here.
We have gathered up some unique advent calendar ideas that mark the days up to Christmas. Whether you like a premade advent calendar filled with special toys, a traditional pop up book calendar or one that you can decorate & fill yourself, we have them all including links to where you can grab one before the countdown starts on December 1st!
