Have you ever had those Christmas calendars packed with chocolate, you would get to open one each day in the days leading up to Christmas. I cannot remember if they were 25 days or 12 days though.

Time for me to get a bag of oranges so I can candy the peels from them...then as Thanksgiving hits I'll dip them in tempered chocolate.

They are a nice treat during the holidays.

I bought my son one when he was little and he discovered if he tipped it they all fell to the bottom and he could get them out. Little scamp. I have made one in felt for my little granddaughter and am making one another for my great-grandson's first Christmas.

I've not seen him since he was a week old and don't know if I'll see any of my family this Christmas. It will be a tough one for my girls as their dad died with Covid19 in April.

What goes on top of your Christmas trees? Fairy, angel or star? Or something else?

@Pearl Oh such a lot of family sadness there — sorry for your great loss...but some joy there as well, with the new great grandson...

The advent calendar I am making is little coloured felt houses with windows, doors and white roofs on a dark blue background.

i've never had an advent caldendar, i have heard of Advent wreaths with candles

@shortangel It's also a good opportunity to send greetings with a reference to God's Son coming into the world as Saviour...

true
