Christmas, my favorite time of year! And it's even more special when celebrating with your children. For the past years, we had used a cloth hanging advent calendar with small pockets for treats but with 3 kids now, the small pockets cannot hold a fair amount of treats for each of them. And so began the search for advent calendar ideas which eventually lead me to spotting this cute little tree at our local Big C. Using my wonderful Silhouette machine, I made cut out ornaments with the days leading to a big Santa cut out so that I could tape them to tissue wrapped treats. And the countdown to Christmas begins!
Here's the breakdown for this fun advent tree (forgot to include a 100+ baht star topper from Central Chidlom --- which happens to be the best place for gorgeous Christmas decorations!) :
