With just 10 days left before the start of December the countdown begins!
Families who are looking to start a yearly tradition can purchase an advent calendar that you bring out every year and fill with surprises!
Advent calendars can be done a few ways. You can use them just as a daily reminder of how many days are left before the big night or they can be filled with treats, small gifts or printed little cards with activities to do every day. Some advent calendars also act as an activity for kids to do like re-creating Jesus’ birth scene or adding decorations to a tree every morning.
