    For the past 5 years our family has been celebrating with advent calendars.  Some years we've purchased them.  Other years we've found some online.

    But our favorite years have been the ones where we've created our own and put together activities or projects that revolve around the season.  With this advent calendar, you have the freedom to create whatever activities or ideas work for your family.

    What is an Advent Calendar? 

    An advent calendar is a special calendar used to countdown the days until Christmas. Each day of December leading up to Christmas, a envelope is opened each day revealing a small gift, candy, or activity.
