The tradition of it ALL! Keeping everything in perspective. And the link between the Judeo/Christian faiths.

Thank you both for bringing this to my attention!

The Advent Wreath of course is an old favorite - we have one every year.

Another sweet tradition is for the children to do good deeds "to make a soft bed for the Baby Jesus." The manger in our creche is empty until Christmas morning - the kids write on tiny slips of paper any good deeds that they do, dedicate them to the Baby Jesus, and place them in the manger.

When I was little, we always had an Advent Calendar. My parents still have our old one.
