One of my kid's favorite Advent traditions in our home is our Nativity Advent Calendar!
I wrap up all the figures to our set and each night they take turns unwrapping one!
(It's my way to ensure baby Jesus makes it to Christmas!)
We don't unwrap Baby Jesus till Christmas!
All you need is what you use to wrap any other gift! You could also use small gift bags and put them on a mantle or bookshelf !
I number them so that we unwrap the animals first and the Holy Family last!
This year I'm keeping them in this pretty bin!
In years past I have put them along a shelf!
We also have a "good deed" bin of ideas of charitable acts they can do throughout Advent.
When they do one they get to put a piece o straw into the manger to make a soft place for baby Jesus!
Things like:
Make your brother/sister's bed
Do someone else's chore
Clean out the car
Make a picture for mom
Put something in the money for the poor can
Blessed Advent!
