Advent Calendar

Today was December 1st.  One of the traditions I have kept for the kids during the Christmas season is filling an advent calendar for the 24 days before Christmas.  In our case our "calendar" is a wooden box/cabinet...


When you open the doors you find rows of little drawers...


My job is to fill the little drawers with fun little Christmas treats...



This is a challenge when you have boys....little girls would be so easy to shop for....lip stuff, fingernail polish, hair barrettes and other girly things are naturally small and would fit easily in the little drawers.  It seems that boys like BIG things....things that don't fit naturally in little drawers.  I usually buy candy for most of the drawers and then have to pay more money for little things like this....


Even though it's a challenge I have always managed to fill every drawer every year...


Happy advent!!!

  3. I have an advent calendar this year, it's a lego Advent Calendar. I LOVE IT, however, your box with drawers is way cool so I might have to keep my eyes open for something like that instead. :)

  4. How cool! Is there a small kit in each section?
