Advent is a season of special grace. It is a time of purposeful waiting. God desires to come to us in a deeper way. Just like the quiet stable that holy night, 2,000 years ago, we can humble ourselves and open the doors of our hearts to receive Him!

Just as shepherds and kings celebrated Jesus' coming, we are called to also spend Advent with our family, friends and even the lost and the lonely outside our circles.

As the days of Advent come, one by one, let us try to do the tasks for each day. May you be blessed and enriched abundantly!

We prepared Free Printables for Christmas as a gift to you!

The tradition of lighting a candle on the Advent Wreath has German Lutheran origins and dates back to the 16th century.

Each part of the wreath is rich with meaning.

The evergreen circular shape reminds us of the infinite and unfading love of God.

The 4 candles represent the 4 weeks of Advent and the candle colors each have a meaning. As candles bring light into a room, so did the coming of Christ bring light into the world.

Violet is the color usually associated with penitence and pink is the color of joy and rejoicing which are themes we adopt during these weeks.

Sometimes there is a white candle added at the center of the wreath which is the Christ candle.

Start a heartwarming tradition with your family this year. Make a simple advent wreath and light a candle for every week that passes. Each Sunday during one family meal, while the candle is lighted, have everyone share a blessing, it will make your season all the brighter! Remember to light the pink candle on the 3rd Sunday of Advent.

Before Christmas arrives, prepare your Advent Wreath. Don't worry! It's easy to make your own!

We also included examples of what other people have done to make their own version. Read on!

WREATH

It's not difficult to make your own Advent Wreath. If you don't have all of these materials, we have listed down some alternatives.

3 Violet Candles and 1 Pink Candle- If you cannot find purple and pink candles, you can make your own by tying colored ribbons around the candles.

Candleholders
- or jars or bottles. For this project we used old olive oil bottles.

Pebbles (optional)

- if you have ready made candleholders, you don't need this material

Twistees

- or string

1 Green Garland

- an alternative is to use a green colored doily as the base of the candles. Another possibility is to use an old wire hanger with green floral tape wrapped around the wire. Make some leaves out of glue gun see how here.

Wooden Trivet

- Instead of having the candle drippings go onto your table, you'll need something to catch it. Alternately you can use an old plate.

Christ Candle (optional)

- This is a tall white candle that you can place at the center of the 4 Advent candles. This candle is usually decorated with Advent symbols as Christmas draws near.

Christmas Trimmings (optional)

- You can beautify your wreathe with pine cones, tinsel, balls, ribbons, bells and other decor you have on hand.

It's time to make our Wreath!

1. Make the circle shape out of your green garland. Secure with twistees or tie together with string.

2. Put the trivet underneath.

3. Now let's work on the candles. Prepare the candleholder.

4. Remove any labels or attachments from the bottles. Put little pebbles into the bottle to keep the candle upright.

5. Decorate the bottle with colored ribbons if you couldn't find purple or pink candles.

6. Arrange the candles within the wreath and decorate! You're done! Now you are ready for Advent! Remember to bookmark this page so you can use the prayers for every week. Special thanks to Loyola Press for providing the prayers!

We are at the brink of Advent once again! One of the most popular posts we have had on this blog has been our free Jesse Tree kit! So for this year, we have updated the images just for you! We also changed the passages so it's really different from last time (thanks to WhyChristmas for the reference Scripture).

The season of Advent is one of the most grace-filled and joyous times for us all. We come together with our families and friends and are oftentimes busy with preparations and parties. Our children often think of it as a time for presents and not the "presence" of Jesus, whose birth we are celebrating.

When we want to bring back the true meaning of Christmas, we don't have to think of something complicated. The Jesse Tree is a project we can do with children and doesn't take up much of our time.

WHAT'S A JESSE TREE?

If you've never heard of a Jesse Tree, don't despair! Help is on the way! You've come to the right place!

The Jesse Tree originated in the middle ages as a means of preparing for Christmas. It is essentially Jesus' family tree!

"A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit" from Isaiah 11:1 shows us the prophecy of Jesus' coming. The tree stump represents all that has been left of King David's royal lineage - seemingly lifeless and insignificant. Yet, Jesus comes forth and brings not just life but salvation, not just to Israel, but for the whole of mankind.

The Jesse Tree's 24 ornaments symbolise the different Old and New Testament characters who are related to Jesus. One doesn't put up all the ornaments all at once. Each ornament is placed after reading a bible verse.

*UPDATE: We have added a 25th symbol to commemorate the start of Christmas!

HOW IS IT DONE?

This is a wonderful family tradition to be done at the start of the day.

1. Every day, starting December 1st, start by picking the symbol for the day.

2. Read the bible passage for the day. Each person can read a part of it and pass on to the next person if the passage is a long one.

3. End with an offering prayer for the day, drawing lessons from the Scripture passage. On weekends, each member of the family can mention their intentions so all can pray for these.

HOW TO MAKE THE TREE:

Option A: Branches

Pick some fallen branches (don't saw these off from a tree!) and then use a big pot and some rocks or hardened cement to make it stand.

Once you've prepared your tree, print out the ornaments and cut out into circle. Number the ornaments so you know which day of Advent you'll put it up. Punch a hole in each ornament for some thread to hang up the ornament.

Option B: Wall Art

Get a large piece of paper and draw a tree. You can use the tree image we made available as a guide. It doesn't have to be too realistic. The important thing is to put drawings of branches were the ornaments will be pasted on (as if they were hanging).

Here are some samples of both options:

This one makes use of magnetic surface for the tree and ornaments on magnets.
