One of the most important things to me as a parent is making memories for my children through seasonal celebrations and traditions. During Advent and Christmas, this involves selecting appropriate recipes, doing crafts, making handmade gifts and ornaments, listening to seasonal music, and reading seasonal books. One of the first activities I do with my children is create an Advent Calendar. Below is a selection of Advent Calendars you can make in time for this year’s Advent.
