I wanted to make an Advent Calendar but a lot of the ones I love, like reading a different book every night and doing an activity, are geared towards kids. Well we don't have any kiddies running around, so I decided on Christmas movies! I love love love Christmas movies, even though most of them are super cheesy, it's part of the fun :) So here's what I did:
Oh, and don't forget to write your numbers :)
It would probably be easier to wrap each section, and then glue them together, but I didn't think about it until after I glued the section together, so I just wrapped the whole thing :P
Because of the fact that a few of our movies were on ABC Family, some of the movies needed to be on certain days, but most of them were chosen randomly out of a bowl :) It's up to you, do whatever is easier and works better for you.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I should start saving empty matchboxes so I can do this next year.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute idea!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea!!! I SO want to do this. I've seen other advent calendars & it's hard to get all the stuff done on all of the little slips...movies would be easier & more doable! Great job on this....I seriously LOVE it!
