DIY Advent Calendar : Celebrate the season!!

The word advent means a coming into place, view, or being; arrival: i.e. the advent of the holiday season. The other three meanings listed on dictionary.com have a more religious meaning:

ad·vent [ad-vent] noun

1. a coming into place, view, or being; arrival: the advent of the holiday season.

2.( usually initial capital letter ) the coming of Christ into the world.

3.( initial capital letter ) the period beginning four Sundays before Christmas, observed in commemoration of the coming of Christ into the world.

4.( usually initial capital letter ) Second Coming.

And since Christmas is celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, it makes sense to me that an Advent Calendar should have some meaning to it.
