December 1st will be here before you know it! One of our family’s favorite Christmas traditions is the advent calendar. We have used various types from the cardboard flap calendar to the felt pocket calendar with candy. The important issue is not what the calendar looks like, but the fact that you are enjoying fun time as a family, and if you’re a Christian, keeping Christ in the center of it all.
If you’re just thinking about an advent calendar for the first time or want to do something different this year, here are a few stress-free alternatives:
