Once summer is out of the way for millions in North America and the UK, there begins the long countdown to Christmas.

I am sure most still go for the cheap card calendars, and although these can be attractive, the are throwaways and can look a bit tatty by the time Christmas Day arrives. For those who are particular about their Christmas decor, there are some lovely wooden Christmas advent calendars, which can be used be displayed as part of the Christmas decorations, and will last for quite a few Christmases.

In fact, some of the advent calendars available for the December countdown can become cherished family keepsakes. Those pictured here are all in that category; advent calendars you will be proud to keep and bring out year after year, even if there are no children around. If you do have kids, though, the top calendar is designed just for them. Why should they have all the fun, anyway. You can even have a personalized wooden calendar, as in the second picture above, or the one by Fontanini in the final picture.
