We
have all heard it said, we have even said it ourselves. How many more
days until Christmas? So this year I thought I would beat my kids to it
and make an Advent Calendar of sorts. I got this idea somewhere last
year. Using matchboxes from the good ol' food storage shelf, scraps of
left over Christmas paper, embellishments, voila! a calendar.
I
decided to put magnets on the back of the boxes and use our magnet
board from IKEA. Put little messages in the boxes for the kids
to do. They vary from singing carols, finding a "goodie". However, to
help them truly understand the reason for Christmas, I wrote the verses
from the scriptures of Christ's birth. I split the verses up so that
from the 12th to the 25th, each day will be a verse of the story.
