Advent Calendar

October 10, 2014

The Holidays are just around the corner, I know it is still October but it will be crazy how quickly they come on us! It is so easy to get caught in the hustle & bustle of the season. The NEED to shop, make, create, decorate, host, cook, clean, DIY, blog, bake cookies, mail gifts, and a million other things. I am willing to bet that I am not the only perfectionist out there – I cannot be the only one who wants to do it all, and do it perfectly, right?!  

That is why I was so drawn to Naptime Diaries Advent Calendar last year. It was just what I needed to slow down and focus on each day. To remember what the season is really all about and to keep my heart in check. This year the calendar comes with even more! A 25 day devotional and meditations for each day of advent!    

There is a print and meditation for each day of advent. To help you and your family stay in check and keep a clear & constant reminder of the season. I would love to see what how you style your advent calendars this year – hang them on the wall, fireplace, in a frame… so many creative ways to display these cards!

    My family always took a little gift to all the neighbors on our street on Christmas Eve. It is such a great way to spread love and cheer and just let your neighbors know you're thankful for them.

    There are so many traditions that my family follows for Christmas, but one of my favorites is our annual get-together at my aunt's house for dinner before all piling together in "our" pew at church to sing carols, ending with Silent Night by candle light.

    I live in Germany, so Advent calendars are very common! LAst year I made one for my brothers, with candy, notes, things to do. One thing I love the most about advent are the sundays. the four sundays before christmas, we light one candle more on an advent wreath and have a long breakfast all together, with singing and eating and being grateful 🙂 The light is just so beautiful!
