On October 31st, your neighbors will actually come to you. Kids knock on your door, parents walk your street, and conversations happen naturally. Halloween is one of the best opportunities all year to live on mission as a family.

The idea behind this activity is two-fold: to do something together as a family every day to celebrate the season (and hopefully create some treasured family memories), and more importantly, to have fun doing so!

Making an Advent Garland can be easy, fun and rewarding. You can print out these scriptures offered here and glue them on the sheets each day, or you can take the time to actually write out the verses. Then either punch a hole in the card and run the ribbon/yarn/twine through the hole or use a stapler to staple the verse to the yarn. Take turns each day. Then hang the garland on the tree, a staircase banner or on a wall to highlight all during the Christmas season. You can even save it for next year and do it all over again!

Have fun as you prepare to make an “Advent Tree” – get a small tabletop tree to keep separate from other holiday decorations, or just add the ornament each day to your regular Christmas tree. You can either set aside ornaments you already have that fit the description suggested, buy new ones, or make them by scratch – they’re pretty easy to create at home using materials you probably already have (colored paper, tissue paper, ribbons, etc.). Make it a family tradition, be sure to set them aside for next year to revisit these devotions!
