Woo hoo! It’s December 1st, which means Christmas is officially right around the corner. Usually I wouldn’t be this excited, because most years I’m at a complete loss with my Christmas shopping, but for once, I am way ahead of the game (I mean, 75% of my presents are already wrapped). So, with all that free time, I decided to make a cute little advent calendar for the kids to do. Anything that needs glue is a big hit with the kids, and I’d seen a few of these floating around pinterest and decided to draw my own.
Each day, just have the kids glue a cotton ball onto Santa’s beard. On Christmas Eve it’ll be completely filled in. I would say that this is a great alternative to the chocolate advent calendars, but who am I kidding. In this house it isn’t Christmas without those. This is just a fun thing for the kids to do, and another way to hopefully get them to stop asking “How many more days until Santa comes?!?!?!”.

Loved this! I bought special Advent calendars which are wrapped to open the first of December.
The children will place the Santa on the back kitchen window where they eat and watch Santa’s beard get full as they open the advent windows each day. Thank you.
