Advent

As most of you know I love advent calendars!! I have made a few and have purchased a couple also. Two years ago I made a really cute one. You can go here to see my creation. Anywho, last year I put candy and a puzzle piece inside each box. By Christmas the kids have made a manger scene with the pieces they got from the boxes. This year I am going to stick with the puzzle piece idea, but I'm also going to put in acts of service the kids can do. Example. Make cookies and deliver them to someone who is lonely. Or write a letter to a family member. I hope the kids will learn how great it can be to do acts of service for others.
