    Excuse Me?
    So what does this have to do with Christmas again? Oh yea, practically NOTHING! Itā€™s just chocolate, money and toys and a vaguely Christmas related question!!!

    A Joy Every Year
    I discovered Grant's Advent Calendar in 2006 through Mur Lafferty's podcast and looked forward to it every year. In 2010, we bought an Advent Calendar for our son, Wheeler, and he started opening doors. Grant is a talented puppeteer, entertainer and creator. He genuinely loves kids and fun and is incredibly generous and gracious -- he watches each of Wheeler's videos, comments on them, invites him to group calendar openings. This podcast is not only fun, it is an integral and traditional part of our family Christmas and inspired an amazing tradition of our own. Thank you, Grant.

    Whoohoo! It's that time again!
    I look forward to Grant's Advent Calendar every year! It's better than having my own Advent Calendar at home-- my boys can't eat all the candies and play with all the surprises ahead of time! Thanks Grant!!

    It's Advent Time!
    I'm so excited! As soon as I saw this year's promo was up I posted it on Facebook and Twitter. Trying my best to share the fun. Thank you so much for all the time and hard work you put into this every year. Only 2 more days to wait! Woohoo!

    Grant's Advent Calendar
    That was great! Loved seeing you and your Dad together for Day 23. The best part of my day!
  • cynforgiven
    Glad I found this!
    Since my birthday is only a few days before, the countdown to christmas is also like a countdown to my birthday. The past few seasons have been more about mundane stuff than about the christmas season. Grant's daily few minutes of advent goodness has made up for the lack of holiday spirit I've been getting elsewhere. Hate to see the 25th get here, but I'm already looking forward to next year! Thanks for the time and dedication Grant!

    Updating because we still love it!!
    I'm Barb and I love Grant's Advent Calendar Video Podcast!!! Have been watching it for several years now and it even inspired my family to get advent calendars for my two boys! They love it, I love it, my Mom (who introduced me to it) loves it, and my sister-in-law loves it! LOVE!
  • geekaba
    Still going strong!
    We've been watching since 2009 - Loved it then, loving it still even when the kids are older. Great for kids and adults!

    Grant's Advent Calendar
    Grantā€™s Advent Calendar is one of my favorite holiday traditions. Been watching them since I was a little tike in the 1950ā€™s. Thanks to time travel he looks as young as he was back then. Thank you science.

    A Five Year Old's Review
    "Grant is very funny. He is so fun to watch. Everyday his hairstyle or his outfit is good. I like seeing what's in the calendar every day. He is so cool. I like watching with my dad." Dictated by Phoebe and transcribed by her dad.

    Another great year of Advent Calendar openings
    We've been watching this podcast for a number of years. It's become part of our holiday tradition. Lots of fun and always a delight. Keep up the great work, Grant.
  • Ilovethispodcast
    Something to look forward to!
    This podcast is such a fun way to spend Advent. We look forward to it each year wondering what kinds of things Grant will find behind the doors each year. Keep up the great work Grant! We appreciate it.
  • wrh3c
    A lot of fun!
    My kids and I enjoy the podcast every year. My daughter couldn't wait to show her grandparents - she kept saying "watch this, this one's really funny" for each episode! 2012 has some of the best episodes we've seen. Many thanks to the Advent Calendar Commission for entertaining gifts! The only thing I would like to see (well, hear) is more of Grant's own music. Keep up the great work, Grant!
  • CoolB
    Non-traditional traditional Christmas fun!
    I'm a bit behind in viewing the 2012 season of the show, but I know from past years that Grant finds new and creative entertaining ways to opn little doors to see what goodies have been left for him. If you've never seen the show I highly suggest watching (even if you're reading this after Christmas). I'm sure once you do you'll love it as well and you'll want to watch every year too. Remember, there's no tradition like a new tradition.

    Great fun for all ages!
    Grant's Advent Calendar is great fun for kids, but you don't have to be a kid to enjoy Grant's ever creative ways of opening the calendar. It gives me a reason to smile after a long day at the cubicle. The cats and I love it. Hey, Grant, where can I get one those eyeballs with wheels to scare my cats with? Thanks to my sister, algonacchick, for introducing me to the experience that is the Advent Calendar!

    Christmas tradition
    I've been a fan of Grant's Advent Calendar since 2005, and I've loved every. Single. Episode. It just isn't Christmas without this wonderfully silly podcast. If you don't love this podcast, you probably hate Christmas. And joy.
  • lancebauslaugh
    A great tradition.
    Grant and his friends have become a Christmas tradition at our house. We love his creativity and humor.

    2013 [and "counting"]
    I am always pleased to share the fun and magic Grant's Advent Calendar adds to the holidays with my kindergarten class. His humor is perfect for all ages [even the teacher! :-) ] We truly appreciate all his talents!
  • DwithE
    Awesome podcast
    I am from the podcast dancing with elephants, and I love this podcast! It's short, simple, and hilarious! This is definitely one of my favorite podcasts!
  • Disney Day Trippers
    My favorite Christmas activity!
    I've been watching Grant open the advent for several years now. It just wouldn't feel like December without watching his creative podcasts daily.

    Just what santa ordered!!
    We've been watching since 2007. I love how creative Grant is. Never are two days the same. My family really enjoys finding out what Grant will find in his advent calendar each day. Now one of these years, I'll have to get a nice advent calendar for us. Thanks for giving us an advent calendar to enjoy, Grant and Grant's mom!!

    Hey everybody...
    I look forward to Grant's Advent Calendar every year - a quick silly burst of fun every day through Christmas. In the young medium of podcasting, it's already become a holiday tradition.

    Grant's Advent Calendar
    I have been following Grant's Advent Calendar for years now, and I find it to be a great antidote to the stress of the season. Grant's humor and clever plots make this podcast fun and worthy of note, and eligible to be included in the annual iTunes Advent Package. It provides family-friendly entertainment to viewers of all ages. It brings the experience of Advent into everyday events and interactions with people, demonstrating it's incarnational emphasis, without having to make it explicitly religious in tone or content. I hope that it will at last be given its proper place within the iTunes Advent Package. Rev. Thomas Sheehan, S.J. Worcester, MA, USA
  • Chuck Tomasi
    25 of the most entertaining days all year
    This has become a great holiday tradition. If you're new, hey, traditions have to start somewhere, right? Kudos to Grant for making something so small seem so special. We always look forward to another 25 creative ways to open those little doors and find out what's inside. Keep up the great work!
  • Douglas E. Welch
    An Annual Tradition!
    Exactly what podcasting was made for! We gather each day to catch Grant and his Advent Calendar during the season and have done the same for the last 5 years at least, I would guess. Check it out with your friends and family today! What a great way to share the holidays!
  • TrishKMC
    A New Family Tradition!
    This vidoe podcast is sure to become a favorite family tradition - just watch it once and you (and your kids) will be hooked! Grant shares the opening of his personal advent calendar to count down the days to Christmas. The contents are always itneresting and fun as is the variety of ways Grant opens the calendar. There is music, drama, and guest "openers" as well as a viewer contest each year. This will be my sixth year of watching the advent calendar podcast and I have shared it with many of my friends. Hopefully, you will discover it as well!
  • Magic Salad
    Great family fun!
    Everybody can enjoy the family friendly fun that Grant Baciocco provides as he shares his advent calendar surprises with us every day from December 1 until Christmas day. Highly recommend for all ages! Have a great 10th year, Grant! SC

    Became a tradition.
    I love this podcast. I look forward to the highly creative ways Grant opens the doors of the calendar. One year Grant became ill and eventually had a hospital ID bracelet on one day and the next he was a zombie! It was sooo funny and shows his ability to improvise. This podcast helps me get in the Christmas mood.
  • taffinito
    Great Family Friendly Tradition
    Grant's been a driving force of the The Radio Adventures of Doctor Floyd podcasts, and he's been creating skits showing his daily advent door opening for the last 8 years (10 years counting his pre-video picture postings!) Always fun to see what clever bits he can think of each day as he creates a new 2-3 minute video for the holiday seasonā€¦ Thanks Grant!!!
  • NojhLivic
    A daily treat of humor and fun during the holidays
    This is an awesome video podcast. It makes opening up an Advent calendar a humorous treat for young and old viewers alike. Great family entertainment, it really helps me get into the holiday mood! The podcast has been on going for nearly eight years now and with each year, Grant has managed to entertain and amuse in ways that make you want to share each and every video.

    Advent Fun for the Family
    This is our 3rd year watching Grant open his calendar. My 5 & 7 year old boys can't wait to see the previous day's podcast before school each morning in December. Grant has even inspired me to make a calendar for them. Thanks for the Holiday fun, Grant!!! You've become a tradition in our home!

    I look forward to Grant's Advent Calendar every year. It's creative, funny and family-friendly. How he can keep the process of opening one teeny door every day so fresh is a wonder. Each podcast is an advent-day treasure. Thanks!

    We watch this every year. A new tradition!
    We follow this every year. It is one of our new family traditions, which inspired us to get our own advent calendar. It is good for kids and adults, alike, much like the other wonderful podcasts Grant has put out there over the years. You should definitely check it out. I doubt you have any chance at disappointment with this one!
