Unique Advent Calendars That Are Not Chocolate
Disney’s Countdown to Christmas: A Story a Day
I really love this idea because it teaches children that Christmas is not only about receiving gifts, it’s also about time spent with the family. This is a really nice way to spend some time reading a story together, and opening a new story every day adds an element of surprise that your son/daughter or grandchild will look forward to each night.

Disney’s Countdown to Christmas: A Story a Day
It comes with 24 tales for the 24 nights leading up to Christmas, each story is in the spirit of the holiday. The tales are just two pages long so you can always make time for the nightly story session.
