fAMILY aDVENT tRADITION

Advent 2025 begins: Sunday, November 30, 2025 

Advent is a wonderful time for families to slow down, prepare their hearts for Christmas, and grow in faith together. Starting simple traditions can make the season meaningful for children and adults alike.

Ideas to Start This Year:

• Decorate for Advent Before Christmas: Give Advent the attention it deserves!  Find special ways to decorate your home with your family to recognize the Advent season.
  
  

• Advent Wreath & Prayer: Light a candle each week and say a short family prayer.
  
  

• Jesse Tree: Add daily ornaments that tell the story of salvation leading to Jesus’ birth.
  
  

• Acts of Kindness Calendar: Do a small daily act of kindness instead of receiving candy.
  
  

These traditions help families focus on hope, love, and the joy of giving as they await Christ’s coming.

CHALLENGE: Upload photo OR write description of your new tradition in the form entry.
