COUNTING DOWN TO A HAPPY HOLIDAY
There is a traditional eastern European Christmas gift called an
advent calendar. It is typically a box with "doors" covering each day
counting down to Christmas Day. Behind each door is a small treat,
usually a chocolate or a type of toy found in a Cracker Jacks box.
Most of the ones sold in specialty stores in the United States have a
different candy behind each door.
You could certainly use this idea for Christmas and replace the
candies and toys with other gifts such as jewelry, poetry,
concert/movie tickets, chocolates, perfumes or other items that would
bring her/him joy. However, this idea is not limited to the winter
holidays. It is one that could be used all throughout the year. You
could count down a week or a month before any special occasion -- like
an anniversary or birthday. Either you can buy an advent calendar and
replace the insides with something a bit more from the heart or you
could make one completely from scratch.
You don't even have to use the typical advent calendar. You could buy
small boxes from a stationary or card store and write the date on the
outside of each box when it is to be opened. Or you could do the same
with plastic Easter eggs and put them in a basket to be cracked open
one day at a time.
I like the idea of putting in clues to be discovered each day which
will hint to the gift that will be given on the anniversary or
birthday. Be certain to make the first clues difficult because if
they figure it out right away, it will spoil the fun for the both of
you.
As you can see, you can have a lot of fun with this idea. There are
dozens of ways it can be altered to creatively count down to something
special.
And as I have said many times, the most romantic thing a human being can do is BE CREATIVE… make it a romantic week everybody.
