Advent - Day 4

So how is everyone's Advent so far? Have you made your Advent wreath? Here is a picture of our friend Curtis lighting the first candle on his family's wreath. (Don't worry mom was just out of the picture supervising!)

Today's suggestion for counting down the day's to Jesus' birthday is to use an Advent calendar.

You can buy one. If you live near us in Cornwall you can go to the Catholic Information Centre. If you don't have a store that sells religious things then you can order an Advent calendar online - just be sure it's a religious one. Novalis and The Catholic Company both sell calendars and other neat stuff for Advent.

 

 

 

 

 

You can use a virtual online calendar like the one at Loyola Press.

Your third option is to make an Advent calendar.

We found this neat one on the Sweeter than Sweets Blog.

And here is a cool one from Heart Felt Truths.

And finally here is a series of pictures to colour, one for each day of Advent.

But Cloë we are already four days into Advent, aren't we too late to start a calendar.

Not at all Tallulah! On the first day you start you'll get to open extra doors.

Oh that sounds like fun! Let's go get started.

Woof!
