24 Days
Advent starts on Monday, marking the start of the countdown to Christmas. But, this year, rather than a calendar stuffed with plastic toys or sugary chocolate, why not try something different? Our Natural Advent Challenge will fill your days with wonder and respect for the world around us, or why not try spending some time on a craft project every day, timed to finish in 24 days? Or split a jigsaw into 24 bags, finishing up on Christmas Eve. We also love this mindful candle advent; it’s easy to make your own jar of numbered candles to help you calm during the hectic run-up to the big day.
Alternatively, give something back. Be inspired by The Mad House’s selection of ideas for generous advent acts and design your own kindness calendar. Or why not start a reverse advent calendar and put aside a donation to a food bank every day – find a bank near you and what's needed here.
