Here’s our grandson, William. Each pocket of his advent calendar contains a new decoration for the tree. We anticipate that by Christmas Day, the tree will be fully dressed.

Great idea 😊 My daughter made a hessian tree advent calendar with pockets on for the boys when they were little with a small treat inside.

So nice to have a personalised calendar. And one without the inevitable chocolate.

Gorgeous photo! And a lovely idea to use tree decorations. My daughter and I made our family advent calendar when she was young: a beautiful patchwork. She has it now for her own boys and usually each day is a note of something they will do/make/visit together that day. I love these family traditions, old and new 🙂

My only Blue Peter effort for my children 20+ years ago was cutting off top third of 24 plastic drinks bottles (had been saving Canada dry for some time!) and gluing the wide end onto a silver sprayed piece of hardboard. Each bottle was then filled with 3 small sweets (one for each of my 3 children) and was marked 1 to 24. Lids were screwed back on. Board waa fixed up high enough to prevent fiddling! Ugly looking but great fun!

What a love bug! I think the advent calendar tradition is such a great one and I like that yours provides a gift for all–the ornaments that everyone gets to enjoy. Does William get to hang them on the tree?
