It may not be quite time for this picture yet, but it is time to start thinking about Christmas - or at least about Advent - that time of year when we start thinking about thinking about Christmas! So, for today's post, I thought I'd give you a collection of what I consider to be some of the most fun Advent calendars out there this year, to get you in the Christmas spirit in these upcoming weeks!
The first one is an Advent calendar, the kind with fun activities for each day. You can find it online at Smart Martha's blog at http://smartmartha.com/Documents/AdventCalendar.pub.pdf
My daughter and I will be starting the activities tomorrow. A few days late this year, but better late than never, right?
Or, in case you would prefer your Advent calendar online: http://www.smmp.com/Advent/Advent.php

http://www.teachingmom.com/features/advent.html (This one gets my vote, hands down! It is chock-full of book and movie suggestions, information about how Christmas is celebrated in other countries, games, recipes, and all the holiday fun your little heart could desire, all in one convenient spot.)
And here is a neat one from Allrecipes - a cookie calendar. It's actually from 2007, but last time I checked, December has 24 days before Christmas every year, so that shouldn't really be an issue: http://allrecipes.com/HowTo/Christmas-Cookie-Countdown-2007/Detail.aspx
And you can never, never, go wrong with the kind that is filled with chocolate: http://www.candywarehouse.com/adventcalendar.html
How about you? Do you use an Advent calendar? Do you have any neat holiday website suggestions?
