It’s December 1st! Time to get those advent calendars started. If your household is anything like mine then you know how exciting it is for the kids to wake up every morning and race down the stairs to see who gets to change the advent date. In an attempt to alleviate some of the sibling rivalry we now have several advent calendars and it takes us half of the morning to go through them all! Never the less we always know exactly how many days are left until Christmas!
This year, like most, I had visions of making one of the really cute home-made advent calendars seen posted all over the Internet. Once again I have waited until the last-minute… and yes… once again it will get pushed off until next year {sigh}! So as a tribute to all of the wonderfully talented (and organized) individuals out there, I have decided to post links to some of my favorites. I hope you are as inspired as I am!
