Advent Calendars 2020

This year as we face Christmas in at least partial lockdown

I am trying to plan ahead for Christmas at home

I have gone a bit crazy with books

We will be reading at least one Christmas book a day

Starting on the 2nd November

All Souls Day

A special Matilda Mae day

Our extended book advent will last all the way through to epiphany

And I am incredibly excited about it

We are going to read, sing, craft and walk our way through winter

I will also be getting the children individual advent calendars

They are only little for such a short time

And I want to cherish every moment of the magic this year

We have only left our village a handful of times this year

None of us have been anywhere at all indoors

Not even to a shop

We have hidden and hibernated and stayed safe at home together

It means a lot to us to make this festive season special

It is our best Tilda time

As we have strong memories of her as a 7 month old baby

Starting to show her wonderful big smiley character

All the stars are coming out

For Christmas and for Tilda

Our Christmas Star

Here are some beautiful advent calendars that have caught my eye

I hope that you like them too

There is a mixed selections

For children and for adults too

Personalised Christmas Playlist Advent Calendar

I absolutely love this idea

Every day you open a window

Scan in a code and add a new Christmas track to a Spotify playlist

A modern twist on the old fashioned mix tapes we all used to make

Back in the day!

Gourmet Marshmallow Advent Calendar

I treated myself to a Gourmet Marshmallow advent calendar a couple of years ago

And it was delicious

The perfect treat with a cup of coffee each December morning

Yes Bebe Wooden Forest Advent Calendar

This is such a beautiful advent calendar

I love that the figures can be played with

They can also be reused

Edie would absolutely love building up this scene

And adding her own figures to the advent ones

To act out festive snowy forest adventures

This is a beautiful advent calendar for children

I predict it will sell out fast

It is also available to preorder with The Wooden Play Den

Personalised Christmas Advent Calendar Decanter Gift

I would love to be able to afford to buy and fill this for David

He certainly deserves a small whiskey every December evening

It is his 40th Christmas this year

What a wonderful way to celebrate this would be

And again it can be used every Christmas

The advent gift that keeps on giving

It would look stunning on display too

Personalised House Advent Calendar

Esther and I keep looking at this reusable house advent calendar

You build and accessorise the house as you countdown to Christmas

The house can be personalised and it is just so pretty

Esther loves making things

She loves playing with small worlds and little figures

This is perfect for her

And a house seems an apt calendar for the advent of 2020

The year we stayed at home

Lego Friends Advent Calendar

Bea, age 6

Is very into Lego

And I think that she has her eye on the Lego Friends advent calendar this year

It does look fun and the pieces will be used long after Christmas

Charbonnel et Walker Peter Rabbit Chocolate Advent Calendar

This Peter Rabbit chocolate advent calendar looks gorgeous

It would go perfectly well with the Peter Rabbit Advent Book that we have this year

Peter Rabbit: Christmas is Coming: A Christmas Countdown Book

Star Wars Advent Calendar

I think for William it will be the Star Wars Lego advent calendar

There is not much choice for older boys

He probably likes sweets and chocolates the least out of all my children

But he does like Star Wars and Lego so I think this will be it

Kraul Advent Calendar Stars

I absolutely love this calendar filled with angels and stars

It is the perfect Matilda Mae advent calendar from Yes Bebe

This simple but stunning calendar is the perfect start to your Advent. The angels bring the starlight closer to the earth every day.

On Christmas Eve the light reaches the earth and the crib lights up in the stable.

Perfect

There are so many advent calendars available this year

These are just a few of our favourites x
