"What is Advent?" "Why do we celebrate it" Countdown to Christmas helps families with children ages 3 to 10 celebrate the true meaning of Advent.This collection of devotions and crafts helps parents effectively explain the significance of the Advent, Christmas and Epiphany seasons so even young children can participate and understand the celebrations. Children will learn about the 12 Days of Christmas, too. Each devotion includes an Advent ornament craft for children to make with their families. As they make the symbolic ornaments to display, each family member will discover how the ornaments relate to God's unconditional love and sacrifice for us.Through each activity and devotion, parents help the whole family prepare for the birth of Jesus. Countdown to Christmas clearly communicates God's love and the reasons Jesus came to earth.
