What do you do to celebrate advent? We have an advent “calendar” of sorts, a wooden Christmas tree that my father made with an ornament to hang on the tree for each day from December 1st to December 25th. We look forward to decorating our advent tree each December, and the children take turns putting an ornament on it each day.
Some families have a nativity set and move the three kings closer to the nativity each day of advent. Others use advent candles in an advent wreath to remember the season of waiting for the advent of our Lord. What about you? Tell us your story; leave a link or a comment, and don’t forget to visit Violet’s Advent Calendar each day to see her surprises. My curiosity is piqued; how about yours?
I blogged about our Advent traditions here:
