Christmas countdown calendars do take time to get the supplies together and make so that's why we've posted this one so early in November.  They make the holiday even more fun! Some of them call for miniature gifts but another good idea is to put a piece of paper inside the item that will lead the kids to find a larger gift, sort of like a treasure hunt or a family activity. Fun Fun Fun
