I think this is partly why I love advent calendars so much... not only for the chocolate, but for the counting down! I remember my first year of college, I bought myself SIX chocolate advent calendars. I felt so rebellious. I know... you're scandalized.
Right now, I'm counting down until I get on a plane to France and visit my parents who I haven't seen in over a year!! We're skipping out of town a full day early. I don't like to miss all the Christmas parties at school, but my own celebration takes priority. Plus we're saving hundreds of dollars just by leaving on a Thursday instead of a Saturday!
Anyways, it's only FIVE MORE DAYS until we are on our way here:

I love that you also count down to potty breaks; me too.
What an exciting time for you! Enjoy your family and that wonderful time you are giving them.
I think I may get a chocolate advent calendar...sounds yummy.
Oh, how exciting! Have a safe journey and give your folks lots of hugs and kisses... I'm just counting down to the holiday and sharing the day with my daughter and family...
My son gets married on 19th Dec so we are counting down to thatt. Then we need to get some energy to count down to Christmas!!
C'est vraiment leur maison? C'est ou? Nous avons 9 jours! C'est vrai! Le 23 c'est notre dernier jour d'ecole. Incroyable. Tu es francaise?
I am also counting down until winter break...5 days, and one of them is early release, so it's like 4 1/2! Then there is 15 weeks between winter break sprig break-yuck!
I just sort of realized there's only a week left of school for my kids... now I feel excited-- or is it panicked?!?
So happy for you! Safe travels. And, I never realized that I am always counting down. I even have it on my class blog. Most people think the year begins in January. We know it is September and ends in JUNE! I will be enjoying the holiday with my new husband and very grown up children who will be visiting. Can't wait.
Come quick!!!
Have a wonderful trip!!
