    I ended up getting some LED candles (real wax though!) because kids, dogs and cats. I do not need a house fire this Advent! :cowboy:
    Sorry.  I think I hit the thumbs down button.  It’s a thumbs up.

    I heard that you can read a chapter of St Luke every day. 
    Yes! There’s 24 chapters. Good idea!

    I would have a terribly difficult time (and have had) when I did not have sufficient snow and cold for Advent and the Yuletide. It is built in, spiritually and psychologically.

    Benedicite glacies et nives!
    And here we are sweltering at 45C. and praying for rain.:pray:
    O ye fire and heat, bless the Lord: praise and exalt him above all for ever.

    • Years ago my mother made a cloth Advent calendar with laminated and pinned labels for each day for what Bible readings were relevant for the day and season.  We inherited the labels.

    A year or two ago my sister gave us an old Victorian style advent calendar box with little doors that open up for each day that goes on the wall.  Originally it had candies in it but now it has the labels in it.  So, each day we try and open one of the little doors and do the Bible readings for the day.

    We have not ways been very good about doing the readings with the little boys.  I am hoping that this year will be better.   😇

    Are the readings long?  I've always loved the type of Advent calendars we had, where you open a door & read a very quick Bible verse.  It doesn't take long at all, but gets one in the spirit of Advent.  And children are eager to open the doors each day.  With the ones we had, the final day (Dec. 24) was the biggest window, and would open to a Nativity scene.  And it was so exciting to anticipate the day you finally got to open that big window!

    For example, this type:

    Oo! That is beautiful and so practical for Advent to get the children involved!!!  It reminds me of a little nativity set when you hung up, a star, angel shepherd or something each day and on Christmas everything was as the manger scene should be.  I had totally forgotten about this!  My godmother gave it to me as a child.


    The one we have currently is more like a half chapter reading.  😅

    • This would be my dream set for the children but not ready to spend the money on it this year.  😅

    • I know this topic is about Advent, but I was wondering if anyone else hung a Christmas nail on their tree.  We always hang it. I don't remember if we had one as a child.
    It's a very special ornament to those devoted to the Passion of Christ.

    Thanks, Viva Cristo Rey, for the idea.  I think I will do this and start on Dec 1st.

    • The boys helped me do do some crafting today.  We made a child-friendly Advent Wreath today with upcycled pickle jars, cardboard construction paper and tape.  We plan to use tea lights inside the jars and keep it on top of our piano to light for when we read the "Advent readings" from our Advent calendar.  😇

    • This year is the LONGEST ADVENT that is physically possible. Christmas Day falls on a Sunday, basically the "5th Sunday of Advent" if such a thing were possible.

    The shortest possible Advent is when Christmas falls on a Monday -- the day after the 4th Sunday of Advent.

    Bad news for those who dread fasting and/or abstinence -- we have the usual Friday abstinence followed by the Vigil (Christmas Eve) on Saturday which is traditionally a day of Fast and Abstinence.

    • Fasting can be easy if you make a habit of it. Skip breakfast, and eat the last meal on the early side, so that the hunger pains return and pass while you are in the deepest part of your sleep cycle, so you aren't painfully hungry in the morning.

    And that Fast will end, but not the abstaining from meat, on the sighting of the first star on Christmas Eve (or if cloudy when sufficiently dark, usually around 17 00H or so) Praise the Lord and pass. the pierogies. Those were the days.......
