Friday Five: 5 Advent Calendars

It feels crazy to me that it is already almost the end of November, but that means that it is advent calendar time. I love advent calendars and Christmas countdowns, they are one of my favorite Christmas traditions. Whether it is building a little LEGO figure everyday, getting a piece of candy, an ornament, a scripture, a story, or whatever else is in that little pocket, door, package, etc., or even just counting down the days on a cute calendar or chalkboard, it is just such a fun way to celebrate Christmas a little bit every day in December leading up to Christmas.

One thing that I love at Christmas time is advent calendars or Christmas countdowns. We always have at least one that we do, usually several, whether it be a store-bought calendar- like a LEGO  or Funko Pop advent calendar, or a reusable homemade version that we refill each year with candies, or something we put together to open each day like Christmas books, stories, or activities. It is a Christmas tradition that I love.
