reverse the advent calendar
Giving gifts is often almost more fun than receiving presents – this is also true for the advent calendar. Instead of opening a door yourself every day for 24 days, on December 1st you can set up an empty box and put in it a good quality durable food, a warm sock, good hygiene items or the like every day. At Christmas, the full box is taken to a charity that accepts donations in kind. Or you can give this box to your friends or acquaintances who don’t have much. A small effort but a great happiness for people in need of all kinds of help.
Less, more advent calendar
Anyone who can’t get enough of the Christmas consumer warfare will appreciate the minimalism advent calendar. It accompanies you thoughtfully as you clean: from 1st of December, separate one unnecessary item per day. Bring or donate to Brockenstube after Christmas.
Region Arrival calendar
In many counties, an “Advent calendar” is established every year. Then every day a new window opens in an apartment, house or school building. The neighborhood gathers and everyone is invited to participate. Join or create your own. Or pamper the neighbors with cookies.
