Luke 2:11-14 (NIV)

¹¹ Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. ¹² This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

 ¹³ Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

 ¹⁴ “Glory to God in the highest heaven, 
   and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Amen

Deck the Halls 2010: Activities Advent Calendar

Tis the season! Aren't you excited! This time of year brings cold weather and I'm the last person to really enjoy cold weather, but I do fancy Christmas. This year's Deck the Halls series starts our with the topic of Advent with the first creative calendar coming from Etsy Shop YouAreMyCupOfTea.

 

"This handmade advent calendar is a series of coin sized envelopes, one for each of the 25 days leading up to Christmas! I have included 3 pre-filled out Christmas activity cards, and 25 blank cards for you to fill out with your own activities!"

I think this is such a great idea instead of sweet treats for advent. Each evening you could sing a song together, read a scripture, tell a story or even a family craft together.

Head over to YouAreMyCupOfTea to purchase this delightful Advent calendar.
