Advent helps me focus on the joy of the season after losing my mum coming up four years ago on Christmas Day.  it also helps us as a family not just keep looking forward to Christmas Day, but enjoy the build up.  We are still using the advent calender that I made four years ago, but I have a great post with 24 homemade advent calenders which might give you inspiration for your own.  This year we are also doing Advent acts of kindness to.
