The following two ideas are both from Burlap and Blue. Print out either the Christmas tree or Santa Clause count down calendar, and count down the days by sticking on embellishments to cover up the days. The tree would look awesome with ornament shaped stickers, and if you use cotton balls you will grow Santa’s beard throughout the month!
