Make a Personalized Paper Christmas Countdown Supplies: Each one will require customization on the name, but other than that they are sized to fit a 12″ X 12″ paper or frame and they are ready to go. A simple one where all the ornaments once revealed are the same color (in this case a shiny sparkly silver) or a more complicated one where there are multiple ornament colors and gifts to adorn the tree. I have created two different versions of this tree countdown. It would be so fun to make them for a class, grandchildren, or if you have multiple children like me who just want a turn every day! And you can make multiples of them rather easily. They are so excited! These personalized Christmas Countdowns come together quickly once they are cut out. Every child will have their own special countdown in their room. This year, I have decided to create each child their own countdown. Now that I have 6 children, it is harder to remember who’s turn it is to switch the calendar, or who got to open the last gift. I love watching their excitement as they anticipate this special time of year. Yes.From the time my first daughter was born, I have loved having countdowns to Christmas for them.

It’s a bit out of control so the white tree will have to wait. But our Christmas decorations are overflowing in the attic because I do a different theme each year. I’ve always wanted to decorate for Christmas using these colors and someday I may buy a white tree and put pink, green, and blue balls on it. Instead of the traditional red and green, I opted for pinks and light greens. I decided to use non-traditional colors for my DIY Christmas countdown.

If you want your kiddos eating candy early every morning then yes, of course, fill that calendar with candy. The type of countdown that you make depends on what you want.

Some Christmas countdowns come with little gifts inside and some do not. This second option is great for those of us who just can’t get it in gear to have something made by December 1st. You can either start on December 1st and have 25 numbers or I have seen people make 12 days of Christmas countdowns, starting on December 13. The only requirement is that it has numbers on it to count down the days until Christmas. You can also make a Christmas countdown in the form of a banner to hang on a mantel. It can be hung on the wall or it can be free-standing. A Christmas countdown can also be called an Advent calendar. A Christmas countdown calendar is a fun way to count down the days until Christmas.
