This year I wanted to avoid the daily advent calendar treats. I decided we would countdown to christmas with daily activities. I found a blog with printables, so I just printed all the activities out, then decided which ones we should do. After that, I planned out when to do what activitiy. I didn't tell the kids what I was up to. When they woke up, they noticed it right away. They still don't know what's inside. It's gonna be fun doing special stuff together as a family everyday.
