Today's Advent is found on Amazon. Made or sold by Aladayquinquit, this Countdown to Christmas calendar doubles as a Christmas ornament. I don't know when the old ol' timey red pickup truck carrying a Christmas tree in the back became a holiday icon. But I like it. It's rustic. It's country. And it reminds me of my grandmama for some reason. Maybe it's the old red Ford pickup she and my grandpa would drive all the time.
The design is simple. There's a small dial with the numbers 1-24 on it. Next to the dial is a little switch that looks like the kind you would find on a View Master. Flip the switch and the numbers count down closer to Christmas.
The one caveat, if you flip too many times, you either have to stick with the mistake or you have to keep spinning the dial until you get back to the correct date. Going backwards doesn't seem to be an option.
Simple and efficient. My kind of countdown to Christmas. Speaking of countdowns, let's see what I received in today's Batman Advent calendar...
It's a set of 4 Joker themed playing cards. The Dark Knight is the Jack. Harley Quinn is the Queen. Joker is the King and for the Joker card, it's a replica of the Clown Prince of Crime's signature Calling card. I'm really excited about these. Especially the Harley and the Joker reproduction. I'm definitely making magnets out of all of them!
