Growing up, I was not aware of such things as the advent calendar. Oh, we had the tree and the ornaments and presents and all, but for some reason, we never knew about the advent calendar. When I received one as a token Christmas gift in high school, I was fascinated by it! What a novel idea! A little surprise for every day in December, counting down to Christmas. I dutifully ate every piece of chocolate in my gift and never forgot how much I enjoyed it. These days, on occasion, I'll see a really beautiful advent calendar for sale and wish they can be used to count down other things, like birthdays and anniversaries. Unfortunately, most advent calendars for sale are clearly marked for Christmas use only. Lol!
Well, if I want a generic countdown calendar like an advent calendar, I may have to just make own. There are lots of tutorials on the web on how to make your own. Wouldn't it be nice to gift a countdown calendar to somone counting down to a very special birthday?
