(sara): Advent begins in 2 days. It's such a great day to make "new year's" resolutions.
I am resolving to do more catechesis, the Good Shepherd way. Very soon I will have 2 kiddos who are 4 & 6, perfect ages for this type of learning. Here and here are the posts from last year describing the first week of Advent activities. Here's the post that contains beautiful clip-art images which can be used with the weekly presentations. And here's the post descibing the figurines Amy & Anne made last year.
The ideas for making Advent meaningful are limitless; you just have to decide what excites you, what you have time & energy for, and what will work for your particular family. For dozens of other ideas and inspirations on Advent, here's a lovely collection by blogger Jennifer Miller, well worth reading.
Here are some conversations about using a Jesse Tree.
Here are some conversations about using O Antiphon meditations.
This blog post shows a beautiful Advent wreath, and also has links to a nice liturgical calendar poster. And finally, the awesome-as-ever collection of Advent & Christmas posts by Elizabeth Foss here.
