Last year, we started a new tradition that my kids LOVE!
It's an advent calendar that has a scripture & a question for each day until Christmas comes.

I originally got the idea from the magazine called "The Friend" which is put out by our church for the children to read. You can find the link HERE.
I decided to make ourselves a Scripture Tree out of felt.
I typed up the scripture for each day numbering them 1-25 & put the question next to it.
Next, I printed it out & framed it.

I was going to make a felt ornament for each day, but then I found these adorable stickers at Walmart. I just added Velcro to the back & they have worked out great.
They are made of plastic, so they'll last a long time.
Each night the kids take turns & read the scripture, answer the question & pick an ornament to hang on the tree.

They love it & it helps remind us what Christmas is all about!
