Advent Calendar idea

What a great idea! Thanks faithfulprovisions.com

Christmas Book Basket (My Personal Favorite!)


You can use children’s picture books as an Advent calendar. Every year, I individually wrap 25 Christmas books and place them in a basket near our tree. Beginning on December 1, a child picks a “present” from the basket, unwraps it, and then we read it together. Siblings take turns choosing the “present.” Sometimes we read the book at night by flashlight as we lie next to the Christmas tree. If you only have 7 books, then begin 7 days before Christmas.
