Gingerbread Fun Advent Calendar

Simple Yet Solid

This basic Advent calendar is great for those who just want to mark the days with little fuss.

Each of the windows opens to reveal a verse from "The Night Before Christmas" and a matching image. It's flat so you can easily hang it, plus the front has plenty of glitter so it looks like a proper decoration.

Children used to getting candy Advent calendars might be upset if they get this instead.
