25 Days of Christmas - Advent Calendars

With Thanksgiving being so late this year everyone seems to be diving headlong into Christmas & I LOVE IT! Our decorations are nearly finished, I've started my shopping & have a baking day planned with my sister. I am planning to share a series of "mini posts" from now until Christmas - its my little way of sharing some holiday cheer. :)

Since today is December 1st what better to share than our advent calendars! Whether it be the chocolate-a-day ones from childhood or the drool worthy Pottery Barn ones these just scream Christmas to me. This year our house has two: a simple magnetic calendar for the grown-ups and a very special dog treat countdown.

We keep this vintage looking tin advent calendar in our kitchen as a little daily countdown. But the REAL advent calendar in our house is...THE DOG'S!

I used to work at a antique/craft shop and one of the vendors made this for Wrigley. It has 25 little pockets that are just the right size for Milk Bones!

I think it's safe to say he is the boss in our household.
