It became a family tradition that in the days before December 1 I get busy at my desk and create a little advent calendar for my wife. (BTW, here are the editions of 2009 and 2008). It always feels got to do something with my hands, non-digitally.

This year I ordered a bunch of little cardboard boxes from Kartonfritze.de, painted or stamped them with acrylics and stacked them to a little tower. Finally, a little christmas-y decoration here and there.
