So, I'm sitting here trying to think about what fun and crafty things I can do with my children for Advent. I want to make sure they get all they can out of the season. It's so important to help them get more than just the "Sunday fix" from Mass. I want them to live and breathe their Catholic faith.
I like the idea of the straw in the cradle for baby Jesus. You add one piece of straw during Advent for every good deed. The plan is to have a nice bed for Jesus before Christmas. I'm thinking we could do this before bed time prayers.
I also like the idea of making chains that you tear off every night or day that have something specific you are supposed to do for the day. Oh, Oh, there's a Jesse tree and....

Thoughts and ideas would be appreciated!
Thanks and God Bless.
