I LOVE Christmas advent calendars. When I was a child it was one of my favorite things and my children love them as well. I bought early a chocolate advent calendar for each of my children (last year Trader Joes sold out before Thanksgiving) and I also bought a new advent calendar that is a little red wooden house with 25 doors that open in which some little special thing could be contained inside. So I decided to fold up a little paper with a scripture written on it to put inside each little door. Each evening we will read the scriptures as a family and by Christmas will have read the marvelous events of the life of Jesus Christ. So, I have copied below those scriptures in case any one else would like to use them. I am also printing off little papers with fun activities to put inside some of the doors such as "Let's make cocoa and play a game together!" or "Let's call Grama and Grampa and sing a Christmas carol to them!" or "Let's walk up to Candy Cane Lane together!" ....things like that. I love Christmastime.
