Instead of filling my advent calendar with candy, I fill it with fun crafts and activities that my family does together. The idea of the advent calendar is to count down the days until Christmas with something special for each day. It adds to the magic of the entire season, right? If you want to get in on the fun, have a peek at some of these great advent calendars. I guarantee you are going to have a hard time picking the one you want.
