It was pouring cats and dogs yesterday evening. Daddy had a report to complete; Mommy had to edit the photos taken at LEGOLAND so Dana enjoyed a special movie treat, watching a Charlie and Lola DVD which we had loaned from the National Library. After an episode on ‘How Many More Minutes Until Christmas<\/b>‘, she came and requested if we can make an Advent Calendar together.  In all our years of existence, we’ve never had an Advent Calendar but being the loving Mom that I am (*erhem*), I hastily googled for the significance of an Advent Calendar and simple DIY ideas.  <\/p>\n

According to Wikipedia<\/a>, “An Advent calendar<\/b> is a special calendar which is used to count or celebrate the days of Advent in anticipation of Christmas. It takes the form of a large rectangular card with 24 “windows”; one is opened for each day of December leading up to Christmas Day.  In many of these calendars, each window opens to reveal an image, a poem, or a portion of the Nativity of Jesus.”<\/span><\/p>\n

I saw some really elaborate and pretty ones on Pinterest but they looked too challenging and time-consuming for a non-crafty me.  Thankfully, I managed to find one which fits our needs and relatively easy to execute.  I’m sharing with all busy Moms so you too can m<\/span>ake your own Advent Calendar <\/i>and count down to Christmas!<\/span><\/p>\n
