Cullen's ABCs have got a video blog series for kids on youtube where they countdown to Christmas by opening doors on 2 advent calendars each day. It's a bit out of date but if your kids haven't quite worked out youtube (yet) you can just wing it and show them one clip a day. -Stef The Advent Calendar Diaries - Dec 21

Ok today's advent calendar is possibly a bit on the weird side and somewhat avant-garde (advent-garde). But I love the images and the scrolling (once it's loaded click on previous dates to see images from past days - nice!). If your teenage daughters are into the band "Cinema Bizarre" you're on to a winner (the website tagline is "style is war"). -Stef The advent calendar diaries - Dec 14

Great effort by Junior School in Kent (UK) - they created an online advent calendar that features Christmas traditions from 25 countries round the world. It's a great site to explore with kids as the questions and answers are revealed step by step and there is additional information about the featured country. I think I might know the answer to the question they are asking on the homepage - "In what country is Pavlova a popular Christmas dessert?" :-) -Stefan The Advent Calendar Diaries - Dec 13

Well you have to hand it to the Swiss for coming up with novel ideas to get them through a long winter - the village of Neuenhof runs an annual photo gallery for ACTUAL windows of houses to be decorated as an advent calendar door/window. Stefan The Advent Calendar Diaries - Dec 12

Here's a great idea - the good people at advientos.com are offering a platform to build your own online advent calendar. It's a great idea and it's free! Why not create one for your kids - there's still time! :-) -Stefan
