If you are wanting to have an advent calendar this year, some of them take a little preparation. You can buy a pre-made one, or make one yourself. The celebration of Advent is a wonderful time as a family, preparing for Dec. 25th as you count down the days until the coming of Christ. It helps you focus on the meaning of this season as you think about the coming of our Savior daily. Crafty mom has an Advent calendar round-up with several choice finds.
