As soon as Thanksgiving is over, the world transitions into full-blown Christmas mode. Overnight, Christmas trees start popping up, Santas stand in every store window and, most importantly, advent calendars go on display. One of the most exciting things about Christmas as a kid was running to my advent calendar every morning to see what surprise I would get that day. The thrill of discovering what lay behind each number was another reminder that Christmas was that much closer.
This year, don’t buy a boring advent calendars from the store. Manufactured advent calendars just open up to a picture, so there’s nothing to get excited about every morning.
