Welcome back, friends! I inadvertently took a little hiatus from the blog last week. It was refreshing to step away for a bit, but now I’m back and in full Christmas mode!
Lately I’ve been seeing lots of creative advent calendars that look so fun. Do you do an advent calendar with your family? We had a felt Christmas tree wall hanging with little pockets for felt ornaments when I was growing up, and I always loved putting a new ornament on the tree each day. But I haven’t had one since.
There seems to be 3 kinds of advent calendars out there…a treat for each day of advent, an activity for each day of advent, or a simple count down. Which type is your favorite?
I don’t have kids, but I like the idea of including an activity for your kids to do each day. There are already so many gifts, parties, and goodies given during this season, and I think it’s great to promote activities (especially those that give back) rather than simply getting more “stuff.” But that’s just me.
Anyway, here are my favorite unique advent calendars!
Christmas Forest Advent Calendar
Vintage Inspired Advent Calendar (Free Printables!)
Toilet Paper Roll Advent Calendar
Christmas Street Advent Calendar (Free Templates!)
Hanging Chalkboard Advent Calendar
Which is your favorite?Does your family do an advent calendar? Do you give activities or goodies each day?
Lovely ideas. I like the little houses!
