I don't get many presents at Yule time. Our focus is mostly on the kiddo. He also has his own Yule "advent" calendar. I was thinking to myself, I wish I had my own advent calendar... one that give me an awesome treat every day!
And then I thought of this. I made little boxes and glued them together, decorated them and made "Mama's Merry Yuletide Spirits" advent calendar. Rather than stopping at Yule (which is not the same day every year) I went to the 24th, because I needed the even number of boxes and also though Yule ends for me before xmas, I still spend time with family for xmas... and maybe I still want to keep getting little "gifts" for myself to fortify myself for the season. ;)
I think it turned out fantastic and I can't want to use it all next month!
