Hidden doorways and little surprises, that’s what I decided I needed right now.

I grew up with Advent calendars. Every year, Grammy mailed us calendars that my brother and I put on the mantle, eagerly awaiting each morning’s discovery.

I loved the daily ritual, the moments of anticipation and delight. The seeking and finding of something special, no matter how small.
