A festive countdown to the holiday, this type of advent calendar features small compartments or hooks, each designed to hold a miniature ornament. Typically, one ornament is revealed each day leading up to December 25th. These ornaments can then be used to decorate a small tree provided with the calendar or added to the family’s main Christmas tree, building a collection over time.
This approach provides a tangible way to mark the passage of time during the holiday season. The daily ritual of unveiling a new ornament adds an element of anticipation and excitement, particularly for children. It can also become a cherished family tradition, with the ornaments serving as keepsakes and reminders of past Christmases. Moreover, such calendars offer a decorative element in their own right, contributing to the festive atmosphere of the home.
