Our Advent practices vary from year to year. The Advent wreath and candles change. I choose different books to read from. But we always set up the Advent calendars (we have several) and our grandchildren love keeping us "up to date" with them. Here, Skye is adding a little wooden figure to the tiny numbered peg where it will hang, joining those already there and waiting for the rest of the nativity scene to join in this little folding wooden box. In recent years, I have added a daily post during Advent to another blog www.stonesandfeathers.wordpress.com. These and other practices help me choose wonder and joy in the middle of all the lists of things to do at this time of year. It is my gift to both myself and my family.
What traditions are important to you in all the busy preparations for Christmas? How do these change your "list?"
