I actually used part of the kids' advent calendars across the bottom.
Journaling reads:
When I was a kid I never had an advent calendar. I am pretty sure the only way I had to countdown until the big day was to constantly ask my mom (and ask her often, you know, just in case anything changed!?) Ever since Alyson’s first Christmas (2001) we have had an advent calendar. The first one I bought was a really cute one I found at Michaels with Santa at the top and rows of little pockets to move the stuffed Christmas tree every day. The kids would be so excited to move that little tree each morning. We still have this one but for the last couple of years the kids have enjoyed getting the simple (and cheap, I might add!) chocolate countdown calendars. They search for the right day and then poke the “door” to get their little chocolate reward. They love them! And I love that they don’t have to ask me over and over how much longer until Santa comes! What could possibly be better than that?!
