In the United States, we've seen advent calendars before but these aren't your typical American Advent Calendars. These are European Advent Calendars or Danish Designs to be exact.
My Mother-in-Law started me out on this tradition many years ago and it's one of the things I appreciate the most about her. She brought a wonderful holiday tradition into our house and we still practice it about 40 years later.
These are cross-stitched, sewed, or even appliqued designs she perfected as presents for each of us. The kids grew up loving this tradition and they still open the presents every morning during the 24 days of Christmas.
If you'd like to hear more about this Scandinavian tradition, just click on my Youtube Link and read - or watch - all about it :D
And, if you have an Advent Calendar, share your comments in the box below. I'd love to hear how you celebrate Christmas.
