Advent-a-geous
Having a December 1st birthday, I'm particularly enamoured of Advent Calendars. (I know it's approximately 24 days too late for this post.) My mom can't quite remember from year to year that I'd love for my birthday package to include one (preferably with chocolate, but I don't want to push my luck). The internet has saved her from the pressure. Here are two that I've been following for a few years:
Leslie Harpold's Advent includes a holiday tidbit and a family memory for each day. This is the first year she's solicited guest memories.
Also, advent-calendars.com, delightfully NOT as commercial as the URL might suggest, follows the annual adventures of Tate, the french cat- nice cartoons and story in French, English, Italian, Dutch, and Swedish. Check be sure to explore as far as day 17 to enjoy “Even the librarians can't find him, and they can find anything.” YAY, Tate!
