  2. The video isn’t really of the advent calendar “in action”. It just shows it up close (and made me kind of sick to watch it). I’d like to know how it works as you use each daily square.

    1. Dear Erin, what you’re meant to do with an Advent Calendar is you open each box on the date that’s on the front of the box. So,on the 1st December you open the 1st box and then on the 2nd December you open the 2nd box, and so on and so on. Advent Calendars are really for children and it’s traditional to put chocolates in each box. Most of these Calendars are 24 days long and you open the last box on Christmas Eve, but I noticed that the Advent Calendar shown here is 25 days long, presumably because the Ikea box that was used to make the Advent Calendar has 25 little boxes in it, but you don’t have to be traditional, you can definitely have a 25 day Advent Calendar ????.

  3. Wow, that is so money! Definitely a “lightbulb” idea… we’ve had one of these for years (which I dust regularly and therefore am painfully aware of the number of squares), yet it’s never even occurred to me. Thanks for sharing.
