After all, they can be used to track exactly how many days will pass before Christmas finally comes. So as not to be asked about the every day For how much longer…?

Primarily, however, children are offered a variety of Christmas calendars. Sweets, trading cards and of course lots of toys are hidden behind the 24 little doors of each of these often expensive copies. Their content usually appeals to toddlers who are delighted with it. (I know that from my own experience.) However, my children have long outgrown toddlerhood. That’s why I’m going to use an advent calendar this year, which I’ll fill out myself. To motivate little daughters to do handicrafts, we even made it together. It consists of 24 paper bagsthat we folded and glued ourselves. You don’t need great skill or expensive handicraft utensils for this.

It is more difficult, however Filling the Christmas calendar – after all, I don’t want to keep putting the same thing into it again and again. -And certainly not the sweets that you eat all year round anyway! A book title such as “The large library of ideas for advent calendars“That I discovered these days while window shopping in a library.

Fortunately, shortly afterwards I remembered something: I have 24 voices photos Have them printed out – some pretty motifs that I found in online image databases, some with my own family photos. On the back I have them with inspirational Quotes labeled. For example this one:

To research the quotes, I read all sorts of books across the whole weekend. (The dreary November is really perfect for this.) My small collection of quotes should not only be entertaining, but also stimulate thought. That’s why it also benefits my husband – so I killed two birds with one stone. Yes!

The pictures are of course complemented by Christmas sweets. After all, I don’t want to mess with my sweet tooth.
