We made the Advent Calendar - Countdown Until Christmas 2021

The happiest time of the year is here and while we enjoy the snow outside we are also celebrating and counting each day until Christmass with a small nice thought or gift inside each day. This year we decide to try and make the calendar at almost zero costs as we used just ingredients and materials at hand:

- paper wrap was used from rohlik, as we use the online shop for deliveries and they have wonderful paper bags. We like the idea of reusing it a lot. Thank you dear rohlik shop!

- inside each day we wrapped a small lyric or thought, but also small sweets from around the house, what we had already available

- I used a few small threads saved from another present wrap from past

- few elf, sleigh and Christmas stickers received from grandparents

It was almost cost free, pleasant to prepare but it did take a while as I must do 3 times each day (we have 3 boys) so each must have his own little day, his countdown till Christmass! Kids are thrilled about this Advent and each day is special during the countdown. I wrote small lyrics or thoughtful text in some of the days and every evening we discuss about the importance of this celebration, why we keep it and how we appreciate all the blessings in our life. We teach them that Christmas is about the birth of Jesus, the love we have for each other and our closest ones, about sharing nice little presents with each other and having lots of fun.
