The Stylish Girl's Easy Guide to the Holidays: Day 1 - Advent Calendars

Tina, here.

As a child, I was the keeper of the Advent Calendar in our house. No one loved it more than I did. I would stare at the little un-opened windows and couldn't believe how many days there were til Christmas. And then when it was just days before Christmas, I would savor every single new window I opened as if I had no idea what was behind that flap (of course I had them memorized from the time I was five).

These are some of the Advent Calendars I grew up with. These days, they are more exciting because you can get actual gifts when you open each window!

Count down the days to Christmas with an advent calendar filled with luscious chocolate images, from Williams Sonoma (above) or Godiva (below).

Everyone needs something to look forward to, and what better than a piece of chocolate every day for 25 days straight!
