Thank you to everyone who purchased advent calendar drop-ins from me! I sold 120 sets and raised over $700 towards our pledge for Home of Hope India. I was a busy bee cutting paper and assembling the sets for several weeks in November! I am glad they are all shipped out and delivered, and I hope everyone enjoys sharing the story of Christmas with their little ones this year.
As for us, we stuck with our little bags from last year as our "advent calendar." I dropped two gold coins and the little scroll in each bag. I also purchased some small Christmas ornaments that look like miniature presents from a craft store and dropped them in to a few of the bags to let the kids know that on that day they have a small present to open. For their gifts during advent I purchased a few Christmas books (like the Grinch Stole Christmas, Berenstein Bears and the Joy of Giving, and so on). So, on a few lucky days when they open their bags they will have a little gift to open!
Happy Holidays!
