Christmas In July - Count Downs & Advent Calendars
This is probably the #1 Christmas item I SHOULD be starting in July. For the grandkids in England, I need to mail these at the end of October. For the local kids, I should send them home with them after Thanksgiving dinner. That way they all have them for December 1st.

I try to purchase the chocolate "fillers" from local candy shops - especially for my adult children who have moved out of the area. One year however, I did an alcohol theme. Not actual alcohol - Jim Beam Fudge, Baileys Carmels, etc. For loose chocolates - Glad Press and Seal worked great for wrapping them before placing them in the boxes.
Here's the count down I made for the grandkids this year

Another paper count down - please note that I have this sitting in a very large frame that was already hanging in my hallway, The sleigh moves each day to count down! This is a Craft With Sarah project, and it was free during her Christmas event. It's about $10 for the file now.
Here's a step by step tutorial for making this Christmas Countdown board, using a dry erase board from the Dollar Tree:

And here's a look at some of the advent calendars I've made in the past
