Advent calendars actually started in the church but, most recently, they’re in everyones house as a fun way for the kiddos to countdown the number of days until Christmas and get a little surprise treat or two each and every day.  Similar to The Elf on the Shelf, realistic parents use these calendars as a way to bribe their kids to “be good” and “stop fighting with their sister” or else “you won’t be able to open your calendar box today!”  Isn’t parenting grand!?

Typically, you’ll start using your calendar on December 1st and each day the kiddos will open up the surprise box for that day and see what kind of little toy or gift is inside.  This fun little activity will take place each day until Christmas (or the 24th if actual Christmas morning trumps your calendar gift which, to be honest, it usually does).  Some of these advent calendars will come with the little gifts as part of the package and others are empty (and more ‘box-like’) and you can fill it with whatever you want.  One thing we know for sure is that you typically need to get yours ASAP because it’s nearly impossible to find one once November rolls around.  Check out some of our favorites (so far) this month.
