I personally like the typology list above, but with families, doing the world one makes sense.

Symbols — ornaments can be made from cardboard with pictures from magazines. They can be very simple — or you can do the playdough/baker’s clay thing too.

I’ve seen both and they look very nice.

A great way to count down to Christmas (24 days) and learn something every day — not just open a window on an Advent Calendar!

Jesus wasn’t a crybaby just because he said “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me” Acts 9

I found a great book at a local Catholic Bookstore. Each page was a beautiful illustration, with the information about the symbol on the back of it. You cut the symbols out, and laced a ribbon through the hole at the top, to hang them.

I went outside and cut a small tree with lots of branches, which were bare, since it was November. I put it in a pot and set it with Plaster of Paris. We used that tree for many years, for those Jesse Tree ornaments. In addition to the Jesse Tree, we always had the Advent Wreath, lighting the candles each Sunday at dinner, and an Advent Calender that had the little chocolates. The kids really liked those. ;o)
