Stocking Advent Calendar

Christmas is a time of giving and getting. A time for family, friends, and loved ones. It’s a time when we remember the meaning of life in all its joys, sorrows, successes, and failures. And it doesn’t matter whether you’re Christian or not – Christmas is about celebrating hope in the face of fear; peace in the midst of chaos; love in spite of hate…and so much more! With that said, it’s no surprise that there are plenty of holiday traditions surrounding this season to celebrate with your family and friends.

One tradition that might be new to many people involves advent calendars! Advent calendars are usually small boxes containing 24 different items (one per day) which can be opened on each consecutive day leading up. Well, it doesn’t have to be boxes and these cute stockings work perfectly to countdown to Christmas! Plus it makes an amazing Christmas decoration.
