I grew up with advent calendars. Usually the ones with the little chocolates behind each door. I also remember one that we reused for a couple of years that had nice xmassy illustrations behind each door. It was always so exciting ... everyday getting that much closer to the big day.
Our wee guy has 2 this year. That's right 2! It just worked out that way [probably because he's an only child and an only grandchild].The first one, with 24 drawers, is customized [by his Grandee] so that every morning he enjoys a little treat/sticker/toy combo.
The second one, Playmobil, has 24 boxes each with a new addition to the "Christmas in the Park" scene. I love playing with this one as much as Spud does.
If we didn't already have two, and we had a nice big mantle, I would consider this sock idea from Martha.
What I love about all these ideas is that they can be used over and over each year. I've heard that Lego has come out with one too. Any other genius advent calendar ideas out there?
