Advent calendar for young and old
Advent calendars are popular and very versatile. Nevertheless, one always looks for new ideas. Since I can think, I have made my own children and filled with things that they like.
In a year I bought socks for everyone in the family, you always need and you never have enough. Every year I bought some which I saw nice. By the end of the year there were 12 pairs for each. They were clipped on a golden cord with red clothespins and each sock filled with things that were interesting for the respective family member. For example, for the daughter, according to age; Schminksachen, Sammelbildchen, also sweets, vouchers for once room clean up by mom, once relief from domestic duties and delivery to another family member, a day in the year school truancy, but not before class work. A game night, something to do only with mom or dad. A visit to the cinema, once breakfast on request to the bed, etc. Everyone knows his loved ones and knows how he can make them happy. It does not have to cost much, except time, attention and interest. Depending on your age, you can give them a coupon, which they can redeem at will, even for things we do not like. This is a great way to reach the kids and avoid some discussion and some quarrels when they see that we can see their interests and be generous at times. Even though we parents do not allow this or that. Degree in the adolescent years, that was great, because we have made something nice with each other again and again, where I might have always said no before or not now. You also really treat yourself with it. Have fun crafting and redeeming.
