Advent wreath, of course. I still buy an Advent calendar even though it’s just hubby and me. I like what Alicia does (above). Over the course of this week all the Fall décor will be put away and our home will be transformed into Christmas. this year I bought a big purple and pink bow to put on our outdoor wreath for Advent, then put the gold bow back on for Christmas.

In reply to Alicia Potvin. What a beautiful way for a husband and wife to celebrate Advent together! I'm sure a lot of couples would love to do that - not just empty-nesters. Thank you so much for sharing!

Now that hubby and I are empty-nesters we have an advent calendar that has little drawers and we each wrote on a slip of paper what we love about the other and the on the 24th we write a Christmas wish for the other. It was so wonderful to remind each other what is special. I am going to keep a note about the Shepherd for future grandchildren. – Thank you.

I treasure the Little People Nativity because it truly was the first thing I bought when were chosen by an expectant mother. It was June (and 50% off!) and I couldn’t resist! We also love the advent calendar with chocolate. We gather around and read it (athough its kind of a bummer now that my daughter loves chocolate).

Seriously you always have the best ideas! We love the Little People Nativity at our house. I loved Tomie dePaola growing up so I need to look into that one for the boys!

I LOVE That alternative to the Elf! And we have the Little People Nativity. It’s the first thing my kids pull out each December and the last thing that gets put away after Christmas! I just love watching them play with it and talk about baby Jesus 🙂

I had never heard of “The Shepherd on a Search” – I LIKE it!!

And, I absolutely love the Fisher Price Nativity set – I am so excited to get that out to see how my four year old responds to it this year, since he wanted to play with it long after Epiphany last year (kept asking when we would get it out again!).
