Modern Advent Calendar

2007-11-26-advent.gif

Count down...This is our favorite time of year when our house is the most festive. Too many decorations can be a drag but an advent calendar is must for us. We like this Modern Advent Calendar by David Fussenegger.

 
 

The bright colors and out of order numbers are unexpected. The calendar measures 25"x22" and is $46 here. You can fill it with candies, snacks, stickers or other treasures.

If December weren't so near, we'd be tempted to make something ourselves. If any ATers have a homemade advent calendar to show off, please let us know!

Advent calendars was something I used to look forward to as a child! The one above looks like something that would be great with young children, but we started advent calendar making when I was about 6 years old.

Every year we would save all the Christmas/Holiday cards we received, cutting out our favorite images. Next, my mother and I would arrange them on a tabletop and find a piece of tag board or other heavy paper and we would cut "doors" and "windows" in for all the days in the month. Next we would paste the images cut from the cards behind it. Preparing this right after Christmas and saving it until next Christmas allowed us to be surprised each day of the month the following year! Not only was it fun to open but it was great time spent with mom and a good way to recycle all those pretty Christmas card images.

My favorite megaupload files search engine is http://megauploadfiles.com
it’s the most powerful and easy to use.
You can find the files shared on uploading sites that the other crawlers miss here megaupload files
