Blogmas 12.04.19 / Advent Calendars

Happy Blogmas day 4! One of my favorite traditions is opening a door to our advent calendar each night leading up to Christmas. I don’t even remember a Christmas season when my sister and I weren't opening the advent calendar, THAT’S how long we’ve had this sweet tradition. Of course, there are advent calendars that you can buy that are pre-filled, but the one that we have, my mom fills on her own. My momma got her calendar ages ago from Pottery Barn, but I’m going to link some of my favorite options that you can buy for the month of December. Remember, you have to grab it before the month begins! Then I’m excited to list some of my absolute favorite things that my mom has filled our calendar with. It has been so fun to see how things have changed as Reese (my little sister) and I have grown up.

Advent Calendars:

Keep in mind these retailers are ALWAYS having sales, so don’t let the price of the calendars worry you. I would share codes but since the sales are always changing, check the website.
