For those of you who aren't sure what the Advent calendar is, I found some info in wiki.
An Advent calendar is a special calendar used to count or celebrate the days in anticipation of Christmas. The days usually overlap with the Christian season of Advent, which can be as early as November 27 and as late as December 3. Many take the form of a large rectangular card with "windows" of which there are usually 24: one for each day of December leading up to Christmas Day. The doors are opened starting with the first one. Consecutive doors are opened every day leading up to Christmas. The calendar windows open to reveal an image, poem, a portion of a story (such as the story of the Nativity of Jesus) or a small gift, such as a toy or a chocolate item. Some calendars are strictly religious, whereas others are secular in content.
This post contains the pics of some home-made calendars and later I will post mine - I got the idea from here. This year I've decided to be awfully cheap and my calendar cost me about 40 Kc in total!!! ;)
