advent calendar - quotes and descriptions to inspire creative writing

Our advent calendar was a magic Santa sock, each morning right up until Christmas Eve there would be a new chocolate within. Why have 24 pockets when one works even better. It really built the magical feeling for us as we dreamt of the elves who placed them there.

Our advent calendar was made of brightest felt, as if it were a tapestry of childhood joy. For in the pockets numbered to twenty-four were sweets and chocolates, one for each day.

Our advent calendar was a special Christmas egg cup, each morning we raced to see what was within - a tiny cookie, chocolate or a new Santa-mission for the day.

The advent calendar became a sort of easter-egg hunt with clues each day, a reason to solve the riddles and find a yummy treat.
