Advent - Preparing our Heart and Home for Christmas
It was many years ago that Grandma King started a family Advent Calendar. She lovingly stitched each of her children's family a wall hanging with pockets to hold the daily reading. As the years progressed the calendar evolved to have daily stickers to count down the days to Christmas. It was something that our family looked forward to each year. Well, I am not sure why, but Grandma decided that she would no longer be able to continue the Advent Calendar. It is missed by our family.
We thought that we would revisit the family Advent Calendar. Our family size has grown over the years. We are now scattered and living in eight different states making it hard for us to get together. It is our hope and prayer that this daily activity will bring us closer together as a family. Please feel free to share your thoughts with each other as together we prepare our hearts and homes for Christmas.
