The Christmas season is my favourite. One of the reasons is advent calendars. My mother may be approaching 80, but every summer when I visit, she has a new advent calendar for me for the next Christmas. And I may be in my 50s, but I anticipate the opening of each window with joy.
Part of the fun is waiting to see what she finds for me. Last year it was a traditional calendar similar to the one pictured. This year it is a contemporary setting, of the Washington Cathedral, with traditional symbols in the windows. I even have travel calendars some years, when we spend Christmas in another city. They are 4x6 and come with an envelope to protect them.
For twenty-four days, I shall have something extra to look forward to in my day.
