Your kids know that Christmas means the birth of Jesus- and they want to celebrate. Join Lisa Whelchel on a 24-day expedition to discover the Savior in the center of all things holiday-shopping, baking, decorating; and even the candy cane, the pear-tree partridge, the Santa suit, and the meaning of the mistletoe kiss.
The ADVENTure of Christmas is a guide for moms concerned that their children are losing sight of Jesus in the midst of the distractions the holiday season brings. Lisa Whelchel was such a mom, but instead of abandoning the traditions of Christmas she rediscovered their original meanings, which were intended to remind people of God's unfathomable gift. Hanging lights on the house, wrapping gifts, and decorating the tree have become opportunities to teach her children about how they relate to Jesus' birth. With The ADVENTure of Christmas, mothers can redeem what's been lost from the very symbols that are gentle reminders of the true meaning of Christmas.

I was so excited to receive this in the mail last week. I skimmed the whole book the first night and then have sat down to really investigate it. I cannot wait for 1 December so we can get started! The activity I'm looking forward to the most is leaving 1 piece of a nativity on a neighbor's porch each day leading up to Christmas Eve. My kids loved the bright colors and artwork, and wanted me to read the whole thing in one sitting.

I love this book! It is filled with so much information and so many ideas to celebrate advent with your kids! The illustrations are awesome! Most of the ideas are ones that you can do at home, with a few that can be done at Christmas parties or celebrations with numerous children. I enjoy Lisa's writing style. She says things that even the newest of Christians can understand.
