There are clever kits which make it possible for even those
starting their first project to create a fantastic calendar. Be traditional and hang it in the sitting
room or ring the changed and hang it in the family kitchen, the modern heart of the home. You can machine or hand sew, plus we are
going to introduce one especially for children to make alone or as a joint family project.
Family project such as this could take
over from the tradition of stirring the puddings.
Advent Calendars go back into the mists of time, the purpose
to count down the days to Christmas. We
read that the origins of the Advent calendar come from German
Lutherans
who, at least as early as the beginning of the 19th century, would count down
the first 24 days of December physically. Often this meant simply
drawing a chalk line on the door each day, beginning on December 1. Read more of the history at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advent_calendar#History
So get your skates on and have a think, what special treasure are you going to make for your home this year?
