For those who’ve grown up with holiday-time Advent calendars, there’s a certain joy of the unknown in opening the little paper flaps each day in the run-up to Christmas and finding a hidden image, toy, treat or poem. Here we’ve re-created that feeling and put a secular spin on it with a December’s worth of special, SoCal-centric suggestions of things to do and places to go. Enjoy!
