She gave me three this year, one for me, one for Mr. Fro and one for Lauren. (They're just the cheapo kind with questionable milk chocolate inside but I like that she still gets them for us.)<BR/><BR/>I always used to get my advent calendar in my stocking on St. Nicholas' Day (December 6th) so I always got to open up 6 doors right away. <BR/><BR/>The Pottery Barn Kids catalogue had a Thanksgiving Countdown calendar that was exactly like an advent calendar.

It's really nice. <BR/><BR/>I never used one growing up but we did do the advent wreath, light candle thing. <BR/><BR/>I was thinking about doing it with the kids, but maybe next year.
