Advent Calendar 2022

Skeptic should have been my middle name. Especially when it comes to online stuff. You're either a scammer trying to get my credit card, or a scammer trying to empty my bank account. So why would I go for an "Advent Calendar" from a self-confessed crazy person. (She is, too! Read her blog!) And WTF is an online Advent Calendar anyway?
You will have 24 days of downtime. Sometimes the down time can be measured in seconds. Other times, in minutes. And if you get really caught up, you can while away up to an hour in stress-free, world-ignoring ME-time!
The days are usually something sweet, something spicy, something to watch, something to do, or any mix of them. Sometimes you'll have the time to go down the rabbit hole. Other days you'll get your door's worth and be done. It works out to 50c per day, and I'd stick that in the coffee cup of a performing street artist without a second's thought. In fact, if you have a look at the pitiful chocolate advent calendars you can buy in a store, this is almost a no-brainer. On the plus side, it's waaaay better than a cheap chocolate calendar. On the negative side, it's not any better for your waistline, because she includes some pretty awesome recipes. You know you're gonna make at least one! Just to try it, y'know. Just once.
And flying reindeer bring a fat man to your rooftop every year.
So, from one skeptic to another, buy the damn calendar. Thank me later.

Would help if I proofread before submitting my review below. The Advent Calendar gets the GOLD star, not the Good star! Like top of the tree GOLD star! Thanks Karen and Merry christmas!

Totally worth the 12 bucks even if you purchase today! You still get all the same content and the fun of binge-opening doors to get caught up which on my opinion is even better than one day at a time. In fact, I may stop opening tomorrow and wait until the 25th to open the rest. Either way you can’t lose. It’s brilliant.

If you haven't yet purchased this--do it immediately! The egg nog making live makes it worth it--if nothing else! HILARIOUS! (And I AM sorry you're sick, Karen. Hope you're better soon...)

Ok. I had my doubts. But I’m looking forward to every single day opening one of the little doors. So money well spent and if Karen makes another one of these next year I’m in!

Thanks Karen! Can't wait for more "out of the box" daily fun. So glad you put this calendar together! And thank you for your help in navigating some glitches. It was well worth the outcome! Hope you are already thinking of items you can use for 2023!
Cheers, Judy

Ok. I was a little bit skeptical but everything is a little or a lot tongue in cheek which I find amusing. Day 1 was just hilarious!

Had a few blips trying to get to it but Karen set me straight and now it’s smooth sailing. It a a bit of fun During this busy time , just for me. Great job karen!

I haven’t had an advent calendar since I was little, so when I saw Karen’s calendar (for only $12!) I had to buy. First day made me laugh, today’s made me think…I can’t wait until tomorrow!

The Art of Doing Stuff Advent Calendar is a true holiday gem. For a scant two quarters a day my December will enjoy Yuletide whimsy, anticipatory delight, long-standing traditions honored and peace to my heart and mind. No stress, no unrealistic expectations, demands or promises, just pure Christmas fun. If like me you have found a kindred soul and spirit in one Karen Bertelsen, I can only heartily recommend that you invest this tiny sum of money to make the Advent calendar part of your festivities this month, and offer this token of your support to her for all that you enjoy year-round. I did and I'm a happy elf because of it.
