The countdown to Christmas is almost here. I’ve made a few different advent calendars in the past and I love that they’re handmade and unique to our family. And I think it makes the countdown to Christmas a little more fun. I gathered up some of my favorite DIY advent calendars to share with you in case you’re in the DIY mood. But if you don’t want to make your own – I have some for sale in my Etsy shop – now that’s easy!
