What a nice idea: cookies with doily print.
If that’s not your cup of tea, take a look at other things to do with doilies ;-)

Aren’t the heart cookies beautiful?
And I find that you can make them not only at Christmas time :)

Also in re ‘baking at Christmas time’ I found several links where I couldn’t decide which to present first ;-)
These cookies are traded under ‘Modern Christmas Cookies’ and I find rightfully so :)

To simply cut common brownies in fir tree shape gives already a Christmas atmosphere in my opinion :)

And this is a modernistic gingerbread house – probably even easier to make because you only need rectangular sheets ;-)

Well, this is the last Advent calendar for this year ;-)
But the cookie Advent calendar is so different – and so quick ;-)) – that I really wanted to present it ;-)
If you don’t have an Advent calendar yet, but still some time, look here for some more Advent calendars ;-)

A cute idea: Christmas tea bags.
The tea bag cookies match them wonderfully :)

Well, that’s a nice idea for a Christmas breakfast, isn’t it? Simply bake pancakes in a Christmas mould.
Those in the tutorial seem to be made especially for this purpose, but actually also metal cookie cutters should work, shouldn’t they?
Merry Christmas! :)

It’s time to think about Advent calendars, therefore I compiled a list:
Older Advent calendars
I presented Advent calendars before.
Origami box Advent calendar
On the picture you can see my Advent calendar that I’m using for a couple of years now. I folded 24 Origami boxes (but I can’t remember where the instruction came from) that I’m filling every year anew.
Addendum: In the comments of the German entry Monika said, that you can get the instruction here.
Boxes ‘Winter Village’ Advent calendar
In the same way as these picture boxes you can easily make a whole winter village with 24 houses ;-)
Octagonal Advent calendar

That’s no instruction, but I find it a beautiful inspiration.
Story Advent calendar
I don’t have a picture from this: quite a long time ago I selected a story where I knew that the addressee will like it, bought a pocket book with the story and cut the pages from the book.
I put the pages into 24 little packages, so that the addressee could read a part of the story every day.
Admittedly I found it very hard to destroy the book ;-)
Printable Advent calendar
There seem to be a lot of these, if I can believe the results of the Google search for ‘Printable Advent Calendar’ and the results of the Google image search for it ;-)
Another printable Advent calendar
This one simply looked a bit different ;-)
Initials Advent calendar

I find the Advent calendar initials simply wonderful :)

Cookies Advent calendar
Of course you can always make a cookies Advent calendar with your favourite cookies receipe ;-)
Gingerbread Advent calendar
They’re baking here a gingerbread tile and glue on beautifully decorated gingerbread cookies with sugar. Every day you’ll get a gingerbread cookie and on the last day the gingerbread tile.

Knit every day a little piece and get a cute bag on Christmas :)
Knitted Hats and Mittens Advent calendar
Knitted Little Hats Advent calendar
The last link on the page is the PDF file (~ 370 KB) with the (German!) instruction.
Jeans Pocket Advent calendar

The link to the original Advent calendar doesn’t work any more, but the photo is inspiration enough ;-)
Socks Advent calendar
Once I bought 12 pairs of cotton socks that fitted the addressee’s feet ;-), attached them to a cord and filled them.
It looked funny ;-)
Once I browsed flickr and found the Teabag Problem Box. He called it this way because some teas are packed in such boxes.
But what I liked best is the the fact that he ‘offers’ the creasing pattern directly (see links below).
On the photo you can see my first try. I burned some CD’s and used the paper where you write what’s on the CD and that I usually throw away for this box.
I think it’s not too bad for a first try ;-)
They can easily be used for an advent calendar.
I looked further for boxes usable for advent calendars and found the following:

At flickr: Teabag Problem Box
At The Fitful Flog: PDF file with the creasing pattern (ca. 10 KB)
Check also the Model Menu
More boxes that can be used in advent calendars:
And here at unikatissima:
Furthermore there are links on how to decorate in the entry Pattern Paper.
And what can you put into the boxes?

This week I will present more possible fillings.
