Thoroughly Mormon Millie asked that I post my advent calendar. I made it from my head using five different fabrics and made the pockets from 4 inch squares that I sewed together and attached to a background fabric. There is batting in the middle and ribbons along the top, I don't really like the way that I have decided to hang it, but that is how it will stay this year. The plan is to do one "deed" per day. Some of them I did duplicates and others are things that may or may not get done. I just wanted a way to accomplish all the traditions that we always want to do, but don't always get to.
Here's my list:
(I should have done a "Go look at Christmas lights", huh?)

Everyone do something nice for the person just older than you (oldest gets the youngest)
