We like to start decorating on the 1st December so I have made a start on a few baubles and trims. The tree will go up next week as I have to fit it in between birthday parties and BBQs on the weekend plus L is super keen to help trim the tree.
I do have our Advent Calendar up, which the boys love, probably because it has a sweet or two in it, OK it has quite a few sweets in it, after all it is Christmas and I rarely give them junk food throughout the year.
I had planned to make our Calendar this year, but time got ahead of me plus I stumbled across this beauty above at our local Op-Shop for $5.00.
Despite my find I still did a quick scout around the Internet and found some great ideas for Advent Calendars:
A fun creative version
You can buy these here, but I think you could easily make them using these found at your local $2 Dollar shop
So how do you like to countdown to Christmas?
Have a happy day.
