Festive 2013 Advent Calendars for Food Lovers
The countdown has begun! Christmas is still weeks away, but you can make the days leading to December 25th pass a little faster with a daily treat from one of these food-friendly Advent calendars. Sweet surprises are tucked into each of the 24 windows of this holiday staple, from candy and chocolate for the kids to gin and whiskey for the grown-ups. You could simply tick the days off your online calendar, but we think a daily treat sounds like a tastier Christmas tradition.
