My mom has a Santa Claus figurine that has 24 little boxes built into it. She calls it "The Ho Ho Box". She decided a couple of years ago that she would like to use it as an advent calendar-of sorts-to count down the days until Christmas. She puts two little slips of paper in each box; one with an "S" and one with a "W" and the gift they are to receive. Then, she buys gifties for the kids and gives them one each day.
That's how it was supposed to work. She was going to buy inexpensive little trinkety items and candy. But, she has gone CRAZY with it! She need not buy them any Christmas presents because they are spoiled beyond rotten every day before Christmas!
The thing that makes it so neat, though, is not only the look on their faces as they open the boxes each day. It's the look on hers....
