But we haven't used it for a couple of years now (now that we're all but one of us adults). Now I just use a countdown chalkboard to mark the days. I think if I had a chocolate-filled advent calendar our dog would have it torn apart and scarfed down the minute we left him home alone!

It was an empty stable (you can see where this is going) and had pockets with a character from the nativity scene (I think they had little velcro tabs - but I cannot remember) and each day the kids would get a character out of a pocket and put it on the scene. Now there were a lot of animals to make up the numbers but even so it was rather lovely.<br /><br />I don't remember where I got the pattern and sadly I don't have any photos. A shame because it was rather fun (well I enjoyed it anyway!)Living to work - working to livehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355154288430953478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-31632350924577614642013-12-01T16:22:47.073+00:002013-12-01T16:22:47.073+00:00Gorgeous, Twiglet has a dr who calendar this year ...Gorgeous, Twiglet has a dr who calendar this year with a monster behind each door !!<br />TwiggyTwiggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065849697979313992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-55577636214940352462013-12-01T16:20:16.884+00:002013-12-01T16:20:16.884+00:00Well done Gina, looking forward to your advent pos...Well done Gina, looking forward to your advent posts.
