Advent Calendar's don't have to contain only chocolate.... here are 10 unique advent calendars for you to keep your eye out for next year: 

1). Saje Wellness Calendar: For the person on your list who is really into essential oils, this advent calendar will give them a mini bottle of every scent imaginable (12 of them, anyways).

2). David's Tea Calendar: This popular calendar regularly sells out, and it is no wonder why. Each day you get a mini tin of tea, perfect for 1-2 cups. Start off each morning in December with a warm mug of tea that smells like Christmas and everything good in this…

The end of our Canada 150 series is being amalgamated into our Christmas Advent blogging. Today we are talking all about Calgary's friend to the east, Manitoba. Learn all about this beautiful province and some of its unique attractions!

Turtle Mountain, part of which resides in present day Manitoba, was the first area of land to be exposed following the ice age. This made it an ideal spot for First Nations groups to settle. European explorers first came to Manitoba via the Hudson's Bay--named after explorer Henry Hudson whose crew abandoned him. The Hudson's Bay Trading Post was swiftly established, and soon, much like what happened in the rest of Canada, European immigrants flooded in. 

Manitoba was the fifth province to join Canada on July 15th,…

Advent is latin for 'coming.' Celebrated since the forth century, Advent was originally a time when "converts to Christianity [would] prepare for baptism... Now [it is] more commonly associated with the anticipation of the anniversary of Christ’s birth on December 25" (Mental Floss).

While some people celebrate advent for religious reasons, many use it as a way to count down to the Christmas holidays. This Christmas tradition "dates to the mid-19th century, when German Protestants made chalk marks on doors or lit candles to count the days leading up to Christmas" (Mental Floss). Today, people use calendars that reveal chocolate, gifts or pictures on each day leading up to Christmas. 

Gerhard Lang is credited for creating the first commercial advent…

Last night "approximately 125 people were forced out of a building in Kensington ... after it was determined it was at risk of collapsing... Residents at Kensington Manor had only 15 minutes to gather their belongings before leaving" (Global News Calgary). As the tenants and landlord of this building grapple with this potentially devastating situation, we are all reminded that renting is not always picture-perfect. 

Many people pursue investment properties that they can rent as a form of supplementary income. Real estate is a wonderful place to invest your money and (potentially) see a massive return. However, renting a property is not as simple as finding a tenant and signing a lease. 

Others turn to rental properties as a place to live before they…

Our Canada 150 series is still going! This week's highlighted province/territory is Saskatchewan, our neighbor to the east. 

It is important to recognize that the Europeans did not discover a new land when they stumbled upon present day Saskatchewan. The Canadian Encyclopedia notes, "evidence of Aboriginal peoples in Saskatchewan can be traced to at least 10,000 BCE, when hunters followed the migratory herds of bison, leaving behind arrowheads and ashes." European settlement did not really begin to boom until the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were established, at which point Saskatchewan became an agricultural hub. Today, many residents can trace their ancestry back to the Ukraine or to original native inhabitants such as the Metis.
