Advent Ideas

A very homespun advent "wreath" this year using all things I already had on hand: an enamelware bowl, beeswax candles in vintage spice jars, greens from the yard and pinecones collected from nature walks.

Here are a few ideas if you are looking for some meaningful Advent things this year:

- First Songs of Christmas devotional emails from Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth
- Book of the same title
- 12 Days of Awareness: Come Expectant and Encounter Jesus free prayer series from Val Marie Paper 
- Hallelujah: A Journey Through Advent with Handel's Messiah - I'm doing this with my kids this year!
- one of our favorite annual traditions: Jacquie Lawson Advent Calendar
- Slow and Sacred Advent family activities for Advent and their hashtag is a visual feast of inspiration
- Ann Voskamp reading The Night Before Advent

Tell me about your favorite inspirations or resources this year!
