Or is my love of some Roman Catholic vestiges of my youth showing? :laugh: We've been doing an advent wreath at home on Sundays in advent and DD loves it.
It is amazing how much she is soaking up our religious traditions at such a young age.

I haven't really gotten into advent stuff yet. Some people I know do a Jesse tree, and that looks neat. I'm not sure if that is similar or not.
Our church has been doing an Advent wreath. I stumbled upon a great book, at the Goodwill, all about Advent, by "Blair" from "The Facts of Life" :lol: She's married to a pastor and it really is a great book explaining where Advent traditions began. :)
We intend to do some sort of Advent thing starting next year. Too much going on this year. :winks:
We do a nativity at home and next year will probably do an Advent calendar. We do use an Advent wreath at church and do the corresponding readings. A little OT, but did Lisa Welchel ("Blair") have something advocating hot saucing? Seems like I remember that, but it may have been a rumor.

She mentions the "hot sauce ordeal" but one of the archives doesn't come up.
I looked up a Jesse tree and that is a different animal. The advent wreath is a much older tradition I think.Quote:

Oh I know that, but I was raised Roman Catholic and we did one at HOME in addition to the one at church. All my protestant friends thought we were a bit nutty! :laugh:Quote:
