we've done Advent Candles, calendars and wreaths, read books, etc. This year I bought What's In The Bible (Phil Vischer-creator of Veggie Tales)Advent Activities Book, 'Everyday Emmanuel' and 'Why Do We Call It Christmas?' book. The Emmanuel book looks simple and fun and has weekly Bible readings to go along with the activities. I really liked the Christmas book and can't wait to read it to my little one. One year we did Jotham's Journey and Barthlomew's Passage. We didn't care for those--some freaky scary scenes if your kiddos are little. They really bothered my youngest when we read them.
