Advent Challenge

The Christmas season is upon us once again. Hard to believe, I know.

This Advent, take the time to reflect on what Christmas really means. Take the time to teach your children that there is more to Christmas than Santa, gifts and cookies. My friend, Kristy, shared a great way to focus on the true meaning of the season while teaching our children that it really does feel better to give than receive. Won't you join us?

Since we already have an Advent calendar (and it's already December), we're going to improvise this year. I'll be writing different activities on pieces of paper and adding them to a bowl. After we use our already existing calendar, I'll have my son choose an activity for the day. I haven't finished making my list yet, but I'll be sure to share what we've done each day.

What will you be doing?Link
