Advent Calendar

Today is December 1st, and every year we start our advent calendar.
For years we bought ones from around the world for our kids filled with chocolates. But more and more they lost interest, so we stopped buying and decided to create our own. We were inspired by this idea and from this point on our entire family has looked forward to the advent calendar. Every day one person chooses an antique ornament and places it on the card all the way to Christmas Eve. It is magical, we forget how beautiful each ornament is, not all get used and therefore the calendar looks different every year.
Simplicity can be beautiful.


If this one does not inspire you here are a couple of ideas I like while looking in the web.

Create your version and make it your tradition.
