It arrived yesterday along with a really cute Squishmallow dog. Now opening a window each day is adding a touch of magic to the holiday season.
Advent calendars go way back in my family. Well as far as I can trace. Although my mother was big on genealogy pride, neither of my parents really talked much about their growing up years. Harriet and I took turns opening doors on the family Advent calendar. By my children's childhood each had their own because the religious pictures had been replaced by chocolates. When they grew up I thought my Advent calendar days were over. Then in 2023 as my first post stroke Advent rolled around I was for the most part stuck in the house, desperately missing my friends, and spending much of each day doing skills regaining exercises. When Amber gifted me with a lovely Advent calender featuring miniature toys 🧸 it was a most welcome touch of seasonal Christmas magic. This year I found myself wondering if Squishmallow Advent calendars were a thing. When I checked out Ebay and saw them I felt like I had to have one. Fortunately Eugene was quite amenable to ordering it. Hope you enjoyed this stroll down memory lane.
