Advent Calander

We put our Christmas tree up the day after Thanksgiving. As soon as we put it up, D started asking EVERY day if that day was Christmas. My solution was an Advent calendar. I figured it would give him a visional of how many more days until Christmas. This is what I came up with...

I had seen one like this on a blog and thought it was pretty cute. It was more work then I thought but it was fun to make and I think it turned out pretty cute. Oh, and it really solved the "How many more days until Christmas?" problem. He was excited every morning to see what was inside the little jar for the day. I just put candy in it this year but next year I think I will try to be a little more creative and find little toys onlong with candy for the jars.
