advent

it has come upon us again, the season of advent, whereby we ready our hearts for the God-Incarnate, Jesus Christ. i read two great posts (with glorious pictures!) about how advent can be shared with our precious children. for the last two years i have used the jesse tree to mark each day in advent. we also use an advent candle wreath! i have several books i go to for reading the children. and course i have put out our creches -- i have several from my childhood and several i am collecting as an adult. i want my children to have the joy of playing with the mary and joseph as i did! how do you celebrate advent?
