Here is my Advent calendar - I realised about ten minutes after I posted I was off to make one that even I couldn't get a fabric one made on Monday so I improvised.I had been saving toilet roll cardboard to plant seeds into - so I wrapped them in some old Christmas paper, put a strip of paper with the dates on them around them and poked another peice of paper with the "thing" for the day inside. Threw them all into a big glass bowl and VOILA people Advent calendar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best bit is when Christmas is over I can still use them to plant seeds in!!!
Todays "thing" is CLOTHES - sort through all the kids clothes and hunt out Christmas outfits for santa photos, outings, parties etc. get them celaned and pressed and ready to roll.
CHRISTMAS TRIVIA:
All this talk of Advent needs some explanantion so...
The word Advent is from the latin word Adventus which means "coming".
Advent with a capital A usually refers to the "coming of Christ into the world" or to the liturgical period preceding Christmas.
In the 8th century Advent was observed not as a liturgical celebration but as a time of fast and abstinence.
In the 9th Century the Catholic Church designated the first Sudnay of Advent the beginning of the Church year.
