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 It's a bit out of date but if your kids haven't quite worked out youtube (yet) you can just wing it and show them one clip a day.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 iPhone Dads - check out the "Appvent Calendar"

Seasonal greetings to all iPhone Dads! Last year we reviewed 25 online advent calendars in the run up to Christmas. This year it's all gone a bit iPhone and some creative gaming company has come up with the "APPVENT CALENDAR". The website reveals a free iPhone game every day till Christmas. Download the game of the day at work and try it out with the kids when you get home.
Enjoy! -Stef The Advent Calendar Diaries - Dec 24

Well tomorrow is the big day and we managed to get through 24 days of Christmas anticipation in December. It was nice to see that quite a few sites featured online advent calendars for kids (and adults who still feel like kids round about this time of the year) with ideas, inspiration and entertainment. So the last post in this series is about a calendar that posts vintage comic book covers each day. Enjoy! -Stefan The Advent Calendar Diaries - Dec 23

Two days to go - if your children are getting itchy to finally get their presents try this calendar for a bit of distraction. Great games and video clips by Dickinson Dees. -Stefan The Advent Calendar Diaries - Dec 22

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
