Christmas Ideas.

I want to make the kids an advent calendar this year but not quite sure how it should look. I need to buy a pad so I can draw all my ideas onto instead of a scrap piece of paper.
My ideas so far are,

• ask my dad to do a box shape for me but without a fron and lid. Then i was thinking of doing it as a room with fire place. I would then make 2 little stockings with names on for a daily toy/sweet. The was thing of having 2 blocks that will count down the down the days to christmas.
• A big piece of fabric with 25 pockets which will have the sweets in for each pocket. will have some christmasy fabric.
• maybe a stocking each then will put something in each day. Will have a countdown pocket on the front. Maybe use magnetic numbers to put on front or velcro them on to change daily.

So many ideas. Will get my book later and do some sketches. Then will update here with my pictures. Maybe you can help me decide??
