Halloween is behind us and soon it will be time to start an official countdown to Christmas. Advent calendars are a tradition in our house. I love all the different ways you can create your own calendar. Would you like to make something you can re-use each year (unlike the cardboard ones you find at the store)? I loved the ideas below and hope they will fill you with great ideas and inspiration.
Check all these wonderful ways to celebrate the days of December and start your own family advent tradition!
