I love advent calendars! I know it’s a little early for Christmas stuff, but if you don’t get your advent calendars now, the good ones will be gone!

I got an assortment of calendars from Aldi to try out this year and I’m pretty excited about them.

First and most importantly, I got the dog treat calendar for Lucy. Even though she doesn’t have a damn clue why advent calendars exist or are fun, I love giving her a special treat each day.

Second, I got the K-Cup coffee calendar for Christopher, my dad, and me to share. Unlike my dad, Christopher and I are not big flavored coffee drinkers, but it will still be fun to try.

What is the point of an advent calendar collection if it doesn’t include chocolates? I can’t wait to crack this bad boy open!

And last, I got this puzzle calendar to use in the homemade advent calendar I make for our nieces every year. I’ll use a few puzzles now, and save a few for later.
