Treasured Traditions of Advent ... Little Basket of Books
Pulled from the red Christmas crates.
Warm memories of long December evenings and young ones fresh from the tub. Our green metal advent wreath with 4 votive candles, worn red berries and pillar candle in the center.
Who will be the lucky one to light the candles tonight?
Cuddling in the glow of Christmas lights taped around the windows, twinkling from our crooked tree and our advent wreath’s little flame, to listen to tonight’s chapter, one day closer to Christmas.
Favorite Advent Books through the years:
Cosmic Christmas by Max Lucado… One of our first chosen every year! You could read it in one night. Riveting tale of what happened in the dimension we can’t see to bring our Savior.
Jotham’s Journey by Arnold Ytreeide … Story of a young shepherd boy’s journey to baby Jesus broken into daily advent readings
The Autobiography of Santa Claus by Jeff Guinn.. “Enchanting holiday treasure combining historical fact with glorious legend as St Nicholas himself reveals the definitive story of Santa Claus”
Operation Christmas Child by Franklin Graham .. The story of this great ministry coming to life.
Ordinary Baby, Extraordinary Gift by Gloria Gaither.. Fantastic Picture Book to read with the young ones, holding flameless candles and passing around the circle for each to read a page, Christmas Eve.
How is the Lord leading you to a special time of reflection each day this Advent?
