It’s Tuesday, December 6th already and that means the countdown to Christmas is well under way. For some reading that will cause a feeling of panic as they start to think of all the things on their holiday “To Do List”. The fact that there are only 3 Fridays until Christmas, 2 full weekends to get things done before the big day. (Since Christmas does fall on the weekend this year)
But, then there are those that are very prepared. I see lots of folks posting pictures of trees up and decorated already. There does seem to be fewer tire kickers out Christmas shopping this year. Seems the people I have seen out are just buying sooner than later. AND there are those that are too young to feel stress around the holidays, they are nothing but excited for the big day. Something that is adding to that excitement this year at our home is a couple advent calendars. The rush to find that chocolate treat has been job one for six days now.
Ever wonder where the idea of an Advent Calendar came from? Turns out it was a German parent that came up with the idea.
Now for those that are a bit behind this year, there are still calendars on the store shelves and the best part about starting late, you get to catch up, haha. Not only chocolate calendars either. I have seen wine and scotch, socks and toys all available to help count down to the big day.
Here are the most popular advent calendars offered for 2022.
