One of the best things about Christmas is the anticipation! The younglings love the annual countdown. I knew after Tenor was old enough (maybe 3 years old) that I wanted an advent calendar that we could use each year. I found this one on eBay years ago and it was exactly what I was looking for. Each of the pockets hold a person or animal from the story of Jesus' birth. I put them in so that we end on Christmas Eve with baby Jesus' piece being put on. The younglings take turns adding to the nativity scene each day.
