My friend Jen lent us her festive Advent Calendar as I’ve three grandchildren living with me right now. (And their parents) I’m sure the excitement level will increase as each day draws closer.
I was hard pressed to think of what to put in the pocket for the first day.
Ahhh, I’d purchased some Christmas colored M&Ms the other day at Aldi. Fortunately I had a lot of little mesh bags ( thank you for tip, Joanne)
I usually put my homemade knitting markers in the bags for knitting friends.
My five year old granddaughter said the calendar was good for math !
This evening we went to Nine lessons and Carols for Advent and the music was so beautiful at Calvary Episcopal Church in Shadyside.
Kids love those calendars
You know it! Thanks Sheree.
Enjoy the countdown and grandchildren!
Thank you dear Sue.
A great idea!!
I agree with you. Thank you Darlene.
Beautiful Advent calendar. Your home will be filled with Christmas JOY gcr
Joy, yes and a bit of chaos to mix in too😂❤️
Advent calendars are so much fun for kids. My Aunt Dorothy crafted a calendar for my kids, which I’ve now passed on to my eldest daughter. When they outgrow it, perhaps my daughter will pass it along to my daughter with the baby.
A heritage gift. Lovely!
The calendar is beautiful, Ruth. I haven’t had a physical one for a number of years but it always had to be a chocolate treat. Happy Advent xx
Oh yes a chocolate treat is best ❤️thank you Jo.
