Growing up, we always had an Advent Calendar that came out on December 1st. Before these Advent Calendars became all fancy and included candy, we had a standard Advent Calendar that had the Bethlehem manger scene and behind every flap told a snippet of the Christmas story.
I can remember my brothers and I impatiently trying to take turns opening the different days. Sadly, I do remember some fights over who was opening which day....especially once that calendar had been with us a few years and the flaps hardly closed.
But the waiting and anticipation was exactly the lesson we needed during the Advent season.
