We had an Advent Calender when I was a kiddo – the four children would take turns adding an ornament to the calendar, counting down the days until Christmas. I’m not sure that it always made an appearance on the first of December, my focus was always on the last ornament – being the oldest…it was MINE!! Sharing hasn’t always been my strong suit – ha! My sons lost interest in the tradition, perhaps some of these would have held them a little longer…..
I think the key to lasting interest isn’t always an ornament – but a wee treat…..
all of the Advent calendars shown here were found on Pinterest……love the shadow box with tiny boxed surprises…
a bucket surprise a day…looks like one board per kiddo…
and one with ornaments…it would be nice to give a couple just beginning their collection…
these printable boxes are sweet…Hubby would love these filled with chocolate…who wouldn’t?
Now a few for the grown-ups…..for the coffee lover…
or the tea lover…
now I bet this one would draw my (grown) sons back to the tradition…
Thanks for visiting!
