When I was a kid we always had an Advent calendar. Maybe for easy part of it: only four gifts! Or the fun of four big gifts instead of 24 small ones! And the last gift was given to us on Christmas morning and it always a comic book! We loved it. And I have made it a tradition in our family too now our kids are big enough to enjoy it, it is sooo much fun. The above are inspiration for the full-monty-24-surprices-calendar or – just as pretty and joyful – in the smaller Advent version – I think. Or forget the presents if you’re not into all that and use it as inspiration for decoration. All found at Swedish Elle Decoration. I also found a board (one of many many) at Pinterest for DIY easy-add-some-christmas-on-the-side: look here. Ho ho ho and lots of enjoy.
