Christmas Tree Advent Calendar Christmas Count Down

First before the comments of my counting skills roll in. I did accidently put 25 on the pictured model. I have fixed this for the model that you would download. Whoops! 

I printed in PLA at .2 on a Prusa XL so I was able to do it in just 2 pieces.  I used multi coloring to color each circle the colors I choose and to color the trunk brown. The trunk can be done separately by cutting it off in your chosen slicer program as the tree can be cut into as many piece as you would need to fit on you printer or sized for the matter.  The smaller you size the smaller the hole for inserting your note. Just keep that in mind.

Once printed you will need to come up with 24 ideas to do for each day of your count down. For example, send Christmas cards, play a board game, watch Christmas Vacation, and bake Christmas cookies.  We find this is a great way to keep you family engaged in the holiday and sometimes forces people to take a step back and enjoy some much-needed family time.

Next take those idea and write them down on a small pc of paper and insert them into the holes.

After that cut circles out of tissue paper the size of a quarter or the size of the holes on your tree and glue stick them to the front of the holes covering them.

Next decide if you want to set on a table, shelf, or hung on the wall using command strips. 

Finally, on each day poke a finger through the hole and grab out your task for the day and Enjoy!

At a later date I plan to add holes for Christmas lights, but that will be for next years model at this point since December is upon us.
