    • It's messy

      Kids and Christmas... it's messy. We know.

      The chocolate Advent calendar gets eaten in the first few days, or you find yourself a week behind eating chocolate in the bathroom.

      Those perfect candles on the Advent wreath might get forgotten, or turned into crayons by a toddler.

      It's OK. Advent is messy. Kids are messy. But in fact, the whole Christmas story is messy. Imagine giving birth in a manger #NoThanks.

      Invite God into the mess. It's OK. He gets it. We get it.

    • Advent aCTIVITY paper chains

      Print out this document with a quick kid-friendly Advent activity for each day of Advent. Missed some days already? No big deal.

      Print it out to color at home, or print out on colored paper. Cut into strips. Build your paper chain as a family, stapling the strips with a stapler in the correct order. Each day you tear off a piece of the chain that corresponds to the date and do the activity.
      Before you know it, it will be Christmas day!

    • ADvent wreath colouring sheets

      No Advent Wreath at home? Or don't want your kids to light it on fire?
      Have them colour one candle a week on this printable.
