My friends and family know how much I love a good advent calendar. The idea of bringing a smile to the faces of my friends and family for 24 days in a row brings me joy. I know it seems early, but the really good advent calendars will sell out long before Thanksgiving. So, order your calendars now and they’ll be delivered before December 1st. I also created posts for advent calendars in 2021 and 2020 if you’d like even more advent calendar ideas. For more information or purchasing info, click on the blue words or photos below.
