I'm printing my Advent Calendars, and thought I'd share. We're doing something a little different with our printable this year. (I've made other Nativity Fast printables, but I like this one best!) We usually keep one on the fridge for the whole family. There is a line on the edge of the manger that you can cut, and insert the baby Jesus into. A page with babies is below - it may be nice to print on cardstock. We'll probably wait and do that on Christmas Eve. Otherwise, you could paste the baby on permanently.

I love this season, but we've got a lot going on this year, so I think keeping our activities simple and focused on joy and prayer and kindness will be important, like our
kindness-manger activity. We make an effort to notice one another doing kind or selfless acts, and when we notice they get to add a straw to the manger. When we are kind to others, we are softening our hearts to make room for Christ, too. Even a dark cave filled with livestock can be a welcoming place when we are kind. On Christmas morning, when the manger is brimming with soft, kind yarn, I will lay the baby in the manger. I'm looking forward to it all ready!
