Counting Down the Days...

I have always wanted an Advent Calendar. Especially when I was little. I remember being over at a friends house and they would get to open the little box each day and inside was a piece of chocolate. I loved it! I don't think that we ever had an Advent Calendar at our house, we might have done one once or twice, but never made it a tradition. I would love to do this when we have kids, it seems so fun. There are so many creative ways to do the Advent Calendar now, here are a few that I found.

I think this one is my favorite. You could give a little gift everyday and I love all the cute wrapping paper and ribbon.
