Advent Calendars | 25 Creative, DIY Ideas
Advent calendars weren’t something we did in my house growing up. Not even the old school kind where there was a piece of chocolate behind each little paper door. I just don’t think it was on my parents’ radar.
As a mom, I love the idea of advent calendars. For one thing, they are a great way for me to answer the neverending “how long until Christmas” questions. They are also a fun way to get the kids (and, let’s be honest, me) in the mood for the coming holiday.
You can absolutely buy great advent calendars here and there. But this year, we’re gonna change it up a bit. I have scoured the interwebs for a DIY option and there is no shortage of them – some of the very best can even be found right here on Bonbon Break. We haven’t settled on a final plan for this year’s calendar but check out this list of awesome ideas.
