Advent Calendars for the Big Countdown

  I have always loved the idea of an advent calendar. There are so many different ones to choose from. We have the beautiful old-fashioned paper ones made in Germany. There are little paper flaps everywhere revealing another sweet illustration. Haba makes one in the shape of a tree with little draweres. Inside are little wood pieces that are used to play games with. Or choose the unusual Kathe Kruse stocking advent. Handmade in Germany it will be a family heirloom of sweet memories. No matter which one you choose the important thing is the thought and love that you put into it. It builds the anticipation of the holiday season. Each day is a new little surprise. A little top, finger puppet, miniature car, a shiny marble or even a paper invitation to have a tea party. An advent calendar is a wonderful tradition that builds great memories for life.
