21 DIY Christmas Advent Calendars
If I’m being honest… I’m sort of not ready for the holidays! I really need to get myself into the spirit of Christmas.
I was just talking with my husband this morning about how late Thanksgiving fell this year. It feels quite strange to go from having Thanksgiving dinner to Christmas decorations so quickly.
Part of our holiday decor is always the advent calendars. They can be unique, pretty and DIY. Need an advent calendar at your house and don’t want to go with the typical store bought variety? The following are so festive and easy to make. Plus, there are a few that are Christmas farmhouse style which is totally in.

What is the meaning of the Advent calendar?
Since the 19th century people have been celebrating Advent. While it started with religious connotation (leading up to a major event like baptism), this tradition has evolved into the countdown to Christmas Day.
Do you start and Advent calendar at 1 or 24?
It’s personal preference! I personally like to countdown from 24 and end with 1.
Is Advent for Catholics only?
No! While catholicism celebrates Advent, many faiths (and non believers) count down to the holiday season.
