What? You don't play Modern Warfare while opening each day of the Advent Calander?! That is so the tradition in our house. :) Kidding of course. Sounds like they are attempting to cross sell and someone needs to teach them better skills!

It is kind of funny though!

I love Amazon.com's suggestions!

Oh, and if you're feeling ambitious and want to make your own advent calendar, I have a cute one based on the one we had while I was growing up. It doesn't really require a pattern and it's made entirely from felt. Let me know if you want instructions.

Of course, buying one is less stressful, so no pressure! :)

Very random. I see you've already received an offer on how to make your own, but my friend has a super cute one that looks rather easy to make (if you're not me). If you're interested go here-- http://yourcreativejuices.blogspot.com/search/label/Christmas
then scroll down a little bit til you the red box that says Christmas Countdown.

Make your own. Here are a few cute homemade ones that I have seen people do (mine would of course be dumbed down versions of these...but you get the idea):
