With December arriving, I always try to think of fun ways to celebrate and countdown to Christmas. One of my favorite ways is to use an advent calendar and do something special each day. Over the years we have used many different types of advent calendars and I’ve seen even more ideas online. I decided to bring a bunch of Creative DIY Advent Calendars to you so that you can get some inspiration or instruction to make one for your home!
