How to use a Christmas countdown calendar

Ribbon Tree starts at the bottom of the ribbon on December 1 and climbs one date a day to the star on December 25. Each date shows its weekday, and Saturdays and Sundays stand out so weekends are easy to spot. Days to Go shows how many days are left in each box, so children can see Christmas getting closer, and each box has room to write, draw, or add a sticker. Ornament Tree ends with the star on December 25, Daily Activities pairs each day with something small to do together, Christmas Tiles gives each day its own little picture, and Wreath is made for coloring in: one ornament a day. For a verse a day, see the Advent calendar Bible verses.
