Magpie & Cake made this hysterical 3D Joke Tree. The basic idea is that instead of chocolate or a picture, you get a new Christmas or holiday joke every day. You could also adapt this idea to include holiday or winter trivia instead.

Couldn’t view the clipboard advent. I’d really like to check it out, but it said you had to log in with a user and password. Can the tutorial viewed elsewhere?
Went to click on the clipboard tutorial and it said I needed a password.
These are GREAT ideas. Wow! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the mention, Laurie! I’m glad you liked my joke tree. It’s actually a lot of fun to make cause you have to find (or make up) all these cheesy winter/holiday jokes.
Your post also reminded me that it’s already time to get started on an advent calendar for this year! Yikes!
