My calendar is a little different. Each door opens to reveal an activity that will help you to create Christmas memories. Some are about having fun as a family, some encourage artistic skills or sensory exploration, some activities involve thinking of other people. They are all simple enough to do with a toddler, or can be made elaborate enough for an older child, shouldn't be too expensive and don't need you to be part of a large community. I haven't included activities like visiting Santa or decorating a tree, since I don't know when you might choose to do those and I have also avoided anything very religious, but you can add that in if it suits your family.
You can also use the countdown in a few different ways, as a traditional calendar with doors to open each day, as a reference list on the wall without doors or even alongside an "elf on the shelf."
I'm really excited about the calendar, I hope it will work for lots of different families and I'm looking forward to hearing about all the fun you have over on my facebook page!
