The old joke goes that advent calendars’ days are numbered, but look around the shops or check any teacher’s pre-Christmas craft activity plans and you’ll see that’s not quite the case.
With the rise of “luxury” advent calendars filled with beauty products, boozy treats or even “toys for grown-ups” – many steering clear of the original religious message of Christmas – we’d like to see what you’ve chosen, and hear a little about why. Perhaps you’ve made your own by yourself or with children or you bring the same one back every year for sentimental reasons? If so, we’d especially like to see it, and hear about the process, whether traditional or a little different.
We’re also interested in related traditions around the world, and will be rounding up some of your best submissions in a gallery on the Guardian.
