10 Christmas Advent Ideas

Christmas is the most exciting time of the year for a lot of us, because there is so much to look forward to – spending time with family, giving/receiving gifts, and eating amazing food! It’s easy to get wrapped up in those things, and advent calendars/activities are great for slowing the family down and understanding the reason for the season, as well as counting down the days to a beautiful holiday! Here are some great ideas for Advent this year – they’re good ones to look at even if you’ve done them before, or if it’s the first year you want to start.

1. Tin Can Advent

This is a really good one because it involves the whole family – and there’s treats involved. You can get the directions & free printables here.
