A friend posted this photo on Facebook this morning. I, of course, had to know more details. And then I, of course, had to ask to steal her photo and share the idea with everyone! Thanks Gretchen!!!

She has two daughters. Each girl has one of these in order to countdown to Christmas this month. They are MUFFIN TINS!! Brilliant. Each mini muffin hole is covered with a decorative piece of paper attached by a magnet. She said scrapbooking paper was used for these. The best {heartwarming} part about the entire thing? Each girl filled them for the other! They put little notes, “prizes”, or candy in the holes for the other to discover each day. What a fun, creative and reusable way to countdown through the holidays.

How do YOU countdown to Christmas in your house?
