The Christmas spirit is in all of us, even if for some it may be harder to tap into. As a college student, you may be thinking that you’re too old for Christmas, that you’re past all of the excitement. Well this doesn’t have to be true. Thankfully at the end of the semester, we all get a break from hundreds of pages of reading and stressing over exams. Put school work out of mind for those sweet few weeks and focus on celebrating the holidays with family and/or friends. I’m sure we all remember the anticipation we felt as kids each day in December passed, inching closer and closer to Christmas morning, with Santa’s presents waiting to be unwrapped under the tree. While no, it might not be the same anymore, you can still be excited and patiently awaiting the big day. And there’s no better way to countdown to Christmas than an advent calendar. An advent calendar is a fun way to count down from 24, or sometimes 12, days before Christmas. It’s just a cute way to show that you can still be in the Christmas spirit even though you’re no longer a kid. Look through these advent calendars we picked for Christmas this year to find the one that you’ll just have to get!
