  1. The Peg Advent Calender is a fantastic idea. I can see it being used long after the season is over.

  2. Thank you so much for all of these great ideas! It will be hard to choose just one πŸ™‚ Looking forward to all of your Christmas Countdown posts.

  3. I LOVE this!!! And THANK you so much for including our Advent Action Cards! Can’t wait to see what others are doing! Loved this list!

  4. Love this and will be coming back for more – the one thing (I hope)I had forgotten from my Christmas check-list was the blinking advent calendar. No excuse now for not coming up with something fabulous πŸ™‚
