The anticipation of the Christmas season is one of the best parts of the entire holiday season. As a kid, I spent many days counting down until Christmas, starting with the first day of November. Advent calendars can be a fun way to countdown until Christmas, and maybe one of the best Christmas traditions you start this year! Learn how to make your own advent calendars this year.
Store-bought advent calendars can be expensive, especially if you’re looking for a nice one. That’s why we started making our own in the last couple of years. It is one of our kids’ favorite traditions now. Even though we don’t do Santa, we love to countdown the days to spending time with family and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
