Blogmas: Counting Down the days

One thing I knew that I wanted to buy this year when we started looking at buying christmas items was an advent calendar. Now i am not talking a cheap chocolate one I mean a proper one. When we spent date night a couple of weeks ago at Trentham we went to the garden centre and they had the advent calendars half price.

My mum has always said that she wishes she had brought one of these when me and my brother were small so I said to Adam we could get one now and then we have it when we have babies in the future.


I loved the mix of the colours and the nativity on this one. When we went shopping Adam and I picked which sweets we wanted to add and I also went through and added some special treats for us along the way including things such as make gingerbread together, get a drive through Starbucks, watching our favourite christmas movies (Muppets, Elf)...

I am really loving this and love the idea of adding our own bits into it!

Do you have an advent calendar. How do you put in?
