DIY Advent Calendar with Mahjong: Christmas Inspiration in Every Day

Christmas is just around the corner, and we couldn’t be more excited! It’s the time of year when our hearts are filled with joy, warmth, and love. We look forward to spending quality time with family and friends, making crafts, drinking hot cocoa and doing lots of other fun things! The absolute best thing about Christmas is seeing everyone’s decorations inside and outside of their houses and, of course, decorating your own house as well.

But we don’t have to buy Christmas things in the shop, as it is much more fun to create your own one. There are a lot of ideas that you can do with just everyday materials, one great idea is to create your own Advent calendar. So, to make the holiday even more magical, why not start preparing right now?

Counting down the days until Christmas is a great tradition for many of us, and it’s a chance to fill each day with little joys – from sweet treats and surprises to inspiring activities. In this article, we would like to share one beautiful story from our regular player, Helen Bell, which inspired us a lot to create something unique and magical on our own.

Helen and her 5-year-old daughter decided to make a special DIY Advent calendar, based on their love for Mahjong. They filled each envelope with fun little Mahjong challenges, of course topping it off with chocolates and small toys. For example, one day, they played a classic game, and on another day, they explored new layouts and tile sets on TheMahjong.com. The calendar became an exciting journey through different Mahjong worlds – from the Mayan empire to ancient Egypt, medieval times, pirates, and beyond!

The whole process was simple, and Helen’s daughter, Betty, was able to do most of it herself. Helen just helped with ideas and watched as her little one worked on creating this magical project. By the time they finished, little Betty was so proud of their work, and every morning, the first thing she did was rush to the calendar for the next portion of Christmas cheer.

Each day, they opened a new envelope together, discovering an inspiring task and a small gift, like a piece of chocolate or a cookie. This Advent calendar became more than just a way to prepare for Christmas; it turned into a special ritual, letting the Christmas and Mahjong spirit fill their space with holiday magic. Helen says that such simple traditions bring so much happiness and that it’s the perfect way for children to feel like they’ve created a bit of this magic themselves.

We hope this story will inspire you to create something special this holiday season as well. And while we’re all waiting for Christmas, Santa has already prepared a little surprise for you. To find it, simply visit the website themahjong.com and say hi to Santa!
