Five on Friday - December 1, 2023 ~ Christmas Decorating, November Month of Vegetarian and Pescatarian Meals, Advent Calendars, Meeting Santa, and Spotify Wrapped

Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had a good week - can we believe it's December 1 today?!

I purchased everything in this post

We are all set up for Christmas - I love this time! We get a real tree so we always have to wait until late November to get set up and I'm so excited! We make a big family night of it and we are in full holiday mode now! 

Family Advent Calendars ~ Yawn Brew Hot Chocolate, 24 Days of Celebration Wine, Craft BeerAdvent Calendar, and D.I.Y. Books

Tomorrow is December 1 and I absolutely love advent calendars - I'm ready to countdown to Christmas! I really like to try new ones every year and we've tried it all - beer, chocolate, tea, books, lego, you name it (although, this year I actually got myself the same one as last year!) 

I purchased all the advent calendars on my own

Usually I try a new calendar every single year, but since I'm clearly packed full of beauty products (and teas, and candles and nails and things), so I went with another consumable calendar this year! Also, my teenager loves the hot chocolate one, so we've ordered from this brand for the past 3 years!

It's December 1st and I absolutely love advent calendars - I'm ready to countdown to Christmas! I really like to try new ones every year and we've tried it all - beer, chocolate, tea, books, lego, you name it! I'm really excited with our family advent calendars that we picked out this year!

I always like to go with some classic advent types as well as some unique and different ones! I tend not repeat calendars as I always want to try something new; but, my teenage son loved the hot chocolate calendar so much, that he requested the same one this year, so of course I obliged and got him one!

We of course, had a much quieter Christmas this year, but it was still so great - we spent Christmas Eve having an appetizer night and playing games! With Elliott, we played Hungry Hungry Hippos and Candyland. Then, once Elliott went to bed - we played Exploding Kittens and Throw Throw Burrito - both are hilarious and so fun!

We have some classic calendars in here, but we also have a small-batch Calgary chocolate company and a hot chocolate advent calendar in here! (I love that companies have become so creative with their advent calendars - there is something for everyone out there! I heard there is even a cheese calendar! So fun!)
