Is there anything greater than a countdown to get you hyped up for an event?

I mean, think about a rocket taking off…or New Year’s Eve…or your mom counting down the seconds until you get your toys taken away? Okay, maybe that last one’s a bad example.

But how GREAT is the anticipation of something new and thrilling and exciting on the horizon?

And what’s more exciting to a kid than the countdown to Christmas? We’ve rounded up some fun ways to help you help them build their excitement level–as if it needs help–with some fun prizes to add to your Advent Calendar.
