Afraid you've lost me on this one, Patch. I'm totally secular . . . I'm not entirely certain what an Advent calendar is meant for. I know it's a lead-up to Christmas and sometimes involves treats, but that's it! I do like your photo choices so far, though.

An Advent calendar is a special calendar used to count or celebrate the days in anticipation of Christmas. The days often overlap with the Christian season of Advent. Despite the name, most commercially available Advent calendars begin on December 1, regardless of when Advent begins, which can be as early as November 27 and as late as December 3. Many take the form of a large rectangular card with "windows" of which there are usually 24: one for each day of December leading up to Christmas Day. One is opened every day leading up to Christmas. The calendar windows open to reveal an image, poem, a portion of a story (such as the story of the Nativity of Jesus) or a small gift, such as a toy or a chocolate item. Some calendars are strictly religious, whereas others are secular in content.

I'm Non-religious myself but I love this time of year and I'm slowly starting my Christmas decorating. I just meant it as a countdown to Christmas.As these Calendars come in al shapes and sizes I thought it would be nice to have a Sean Bean version where we could share some Bean treats,in the the form of pics,vids etc.

Here are some other advent Calendars

I made advent calendars for my great nieces and nephews. But my nieces, their moms, did not want any candy so I did applique and embroidery of a Christmas scene with Santa's sleigh in the sky and a big tree and house in the mountains. Anyway every day there were some items they could stick on the wall hanging. There were presents for under trees, lights and ornaments, kids on sleighs. On the 24th there was only two items. One was a Santa for the sleigh and the other was the red nose for Rudolph. They love it and fight over who gets to put on Rudolph's nose. So Advent calendars can be really fun for kids.
