I grew up celebrating Advent, enjoying the ritual of a different family each week lighting the tall white pillar candles on a table wreathed in greenery at the front of our church.  As an adult, I dug up a copy of the original service to try with my own kids, but it was too long and complicated for a toddler’s attention span. This guide is the product of necessity, a reformatting of the basic ideas to fit little hearts and minds. I hope it brings you closer to Jesus as a family this Christmas!
