I get really frustrated by believing we should only have one advent calendar in the house - I see so many lovely ones I would like to make. Aoife - what a lovely thing to treasure! We usually go through the calendar as a family. I fill it with different activities linked to the festive period - card making, Christmas crafts, biscuit making etc and I've made all different stockings, pouches and bags with all different fabrics to try and squeeze all these activities into.
