I am so excited that this year my eldest is old enough and interested in doing an advent calendar! I spent some time on pinterest looking around and gathered my top 10 Advent Calendar Ideas to consider for this year!
Which one will you do this year?

Advent calendars are so fun! I still have mine from when I was a kid, which involved moving a mouse to the corresponding day of the month, but these look way more fun!
