The countdown to Christmas has come a long way from the two-for-a-dollar advent calendars I had as a kid.
No more chalky chocolates found behind cardboard doors, now the elaborate calendars can be filled with presents, candies, trinkets, and toys. Several versions are made by toy companies and others are handcrafted keepsakes. And, most of them will set you back a pretty penny.
Whatever you're using to count, when you're a kid 25 days seems to take forever.
