Advent calendars: get into the spirit with a Christmas countdown
The countdown to Christmas is an integral part of the festivities. Part of the excitement is in the build-up to the big day itself and, as every year, children ask 'how many sleeps until Santa comes?' an advent calendar is a must. A simple chocolate advent calendar helps us count from the 1st to the 25th in the most delicious way, making December all the sweeter. Youngsters will make no mistakes counting down, especially when little fingers look forward to finding sweeties each day. But it's not just kids that can't wait until Christmas Day - us grown ups fondly recollect ticking off the days as we opened the cardboard windows on our advent calendars. Sometimes the promise of a chocolate was all too much, and we would open the next day's window too! These family traditions are the stuff that memories are made of, and when keepsake wooden advent calendars are brought out each year, children will delight in discovering the treats and sweets hidden behind each of the 24 numbered doors. Heirlooms in the making, they'll become a treasured part of annual celebrations. Or for an advent calendar with even more sentiment, how about a kit for kids to make their own? We can't wait!
