Advent

The Countdown Begins…

The house is decorated, 

the children are super excited, 

and the advent calendars 

have begun their countdown to Christmas!!! 

I love this time of year – the excitement, the opportunities to serve, the food, the decorating, etc… Sometimes I get so caught up in the preparing and doing that I have to remind myself to focus on what is really important. That is why I love advent calendars! 

There are many different kinds (and I have several in my house) but my most favorite is the one that I made last year... 

(click here). 

Each day, as a family, we read a scripture, do a simple activity together, and sing a Christmas song together.

If you desire to get more out of your holiday season, check out my Christmas posts from last year. Start with day one (December 1st) and follow the simple instructions each day and you will find your focus shifting to the real meaning of the season!

Happy Holidays To You,

Megan
