Hey everyone! I'm looking for some suggestions for books or ways to celebrate Advent. I'm planning the 24 Days of Christmas activities, but I want something simple that will daily remind us the real reason of the season.
In my head, I've got something in my head that I would like. It is just me, DH and DD, who will only be 16 months in December. I'd like something that for the next 3-4 years DH and I can read together and do a quick recap for my DD at bed time or something. However, I'd like that by the time she is maybe 5 or 6ish, that she'd be able to do the readings with us as a family and still comprehend at that level. But I still want it to be something that DH and I are still going to get something out of, KWIM? Or if it is possible, something that has a focus for people of different age levels for each day. I'm not sure if I am making any sense of what I'm looking for!
Basically, I want something that can grow with my family and be timeless enough that it becomes a tradition to use it daily for many, many years. Whether the ones that are using it are 16mo, 9 years, 20 years or 50 years old!
Like I said, I am already doing the planning our 24 days activities and some of them are bigger activities, such as going to festivals. For that reason, I want something that is not long or involved, just enough to bring our focus back to the true reason each day.
Okay - so hopefully someone has an idea out there for me and my million word essay of what I want. TIA!!!
