our advent calendar: a christmas tradition

every december that i can remember,

my brothers and i would take turns putting the felt ornament on our felt tree each day.

each year, we would rotate the order we went in so that we each got a chance to put the santa ornament on the tree on christmas eve.

i know there are a lot of different types of advent calendars out there,
but this is the one i grew up with,
and i couldn't imagine celebrating christmas without it.
for a hot second, i thought about making one myself,
until i had a meltdown in the felt aisle of hobby lobby.
too many details for a saturday morning.
luckily, i stumbled upon this one on etsy.

now, bub-hub and i will get to start our own tradition of arguing over sharing who gets to put santa on the tree on christmas eve.

do you have an advent calendar?
what is your favorite christmas tradition?
