It’s official – we’re in that season, from Halloween to Christmas, when time FLIES by!
When I was growing up, Advent calendars were pretty basic. The one my family used had 24 little pockets, and my mom would put two pieces of candy (usually Hershey miniatures) in each pocket for my brother and me to enjoy every day as we counted down the days until Christmas.
Like so many things since childhood, Advent calendars have come a long way! There are now options for just about every hobby, interest, genre, budget, and taste.
So, before things get too chaotic with all the holiday festivities, I wanted to share some fun bookish Advent calendars for you to check out and hopefully snag before December 1.
