Stay-At-Home Mum's group member Stacey will be making a '12 Days of Christmas' calendar with things like Christmas PJs, Santa mug, colouring book and ornaments!
An advent calendar is a great concept to help children understand both the excitement of the countdown to Christmas and also the art of patience! All of this is lost on new babies, of course, and while chocolate advent calendars may not be suitable for baby’s first Christmas, there are other ways to honour the countdown to Christmas Day. Purchasing a fabric or paper advent calendar filled with Christmas trinkets, love notes from baby’s mum and dad - or even Christmas poems - are a nice gift to unwrap with your bub each morning. As they grow up, you can expand this tradition to make everyone in charge of filling another family member’s advent calendar - with a $20 budget for the month and the need to get creative!
