COUNTING DOWN TO A HAPPY HOLIDAY
by  Michael  Webb
http://www.TheRomantic.com/

There is a  traditional eastern European Christmas gift called an
advent calendar. It is  typically a box with “doors” covering each
day counting down to Christmas  Day. Behind each door is a small
treat, usually a chocolate or a type of toy  found in a Cracker Jacks
box. Most of the ones sold in specialty stores in  the United States
have a different candy behind each door.

You could  certainly use this idea for Christmas and replace
the candies and toys with  other gifts such as jewelry, poetry,
concert/movie tickets, chocolates,  perfumes or other items that
would bring her/him joy. However, this idea is  not limited to the
winter holidays. It is one that could be used all  throughout the
year.You could count down a week or a month before any  special
occasion — like an anniversary or birthday. Either you can buy  an
advent calendar and replace the insides with something a bit more
from  the heart or you could make one completely from scratch.

You don’t even  have to use the typical advent calendar. You could
buy small boxes from a  stationary or card store and write the date
on the outside of each box when  it is to be opened. Or you could
do the same with plastic Easter eggs and put  them in a basket to
be cracked open one day at a time.

I like the idea  of putting in clues to be discovered each day
which will hint to the gift  that will be given on the anniversary
or birthday. Be certain to make the  first clues difficult because
if they figure it out right away, it will spoil  the fun for the
both of you.

As you can see, you can have a lot of fun  with this idea. There
are dozens of ways it can be altered to creatively  count down to
something  special.
