This time of year my family tries to focus on the true meaning of Christmas. You may have read in previous posts how we do 3 gifts each year. We also focus on spending more quality time together and building relationships.

This is a advent list that’s meant to help build family relationships and start conversations. Print off the list, cut it up and put each one in any advent holder you have. Or make your own. Most of the tasks on the list don’t require any special tools, or accessories.

Each night you unfold one piece of paper consisting of one item on this list and do or discuss it as a family. Don’t forget Christmas day!

I hope you enjoy this list!

1. Deliver secret Santa poem & goodies to some neighbors
