Advent Calendar Activity Ideas

Each year we try to do activities for our Advent Calendar. 

Sometimes this includes big productions and some effort on my part while other days it is the simplest things. 

No matter what it is we try to be intentional and present with one another keeping our focus on the true meaning of Christmas.
