If you and your family love counting down the days until Christmas together than this Countdown to Christmas Printable will be perfect for your family.
Every year I buy those chocolate advent calendars from the store, they're like 1.99 if you get them in the right place. My son loves waking up each morning and going to his calendar to search for his chocolate of the day. Best breakfast ever right? I remember having these when I was little and sneaking a few extra days at once but I won't tell him that part.
I've seen the more extravagant advent calendar like this one on Amazon, I think the chocolate is a little more fun but maybe if you has younger kids and didn't want to deal with the chocolate everyday.
You could also skip the toys and chocolate calendars all together and just make your own Countdown to Christmas Printable and even better it's free.
