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. My mom would always buy one of those classic chocolate Advent calendars and I can remember waiting anxiously until after Thanksgiving to get it out and “use” it.
Advent calendars can be a fun way to countdown until Christmas, and maybe one of the best Christmas traditions you start this year! Over the years, we have used several different types of Advent calendars with our own children.
But 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.
I was so excited when I found some homemade Advent calendars. These DIY Advent calendars will look just as wonderful, plus they will last year after year! There are also some one-time ideas too!
Make your own Advent Calendar this year to use for years to come and create lifelong memories with your family.
