There is so much good encouragement and example here - all the Wilson women need to get this together in a book, chock full of ideas, photos, recipes and the theology behind all of it. At this point it will have to be a stapled pile of papers. :) Thank you again! As I’m going back through all the advent posts, I want to say thank you again!

Growing up in the Dutch ghetto (Pella, IA) we always celebrate Sinterklaas (St. Nicholas) Day (Dec 6) by leaving our wooden shoes (yes, we have pairs, but just to wear at the Tulip Festival, and for Sinterklaas Day, of course) by the door the night before, and we always get pajamas. They are perfect for wearing while opening Christmas presents on Christmas Eve (or Christmas Day if you wait that long :P ). I'm looking forward to doing the same for my children some day. There is nothing in the world like brand new warm winter pajamas. I think I'll have to try my hand at helping my little sister make a gingerbread house this Christmas.... Yay for jammies!

I am curious...do you still give gifts on Christmas Day/Eve to the grandchildren or just on Advent. Also, are you celebrating advent on Saturday (with your Sabbath meal) or are you doing another celebration on Sunday? Could you show me a picture of your advent wreath? Our wreath looks rather blaw. Love the idea of the jammies. I can hardly believe it but I found Christmas jammies in ALL the right sizes and 60% off to boot. Hooray! Hooray! Thanks for the great idea.

My girls are 16, 18, and 19 but I suspect they would enjoy getting Advent jammies as much as your grandchildren do. I typically get them each an advent calendar with chocolates inside, and my 16-year-old is starting to panic because I haven't purchased them yet this year! I may even break down and give the Sabbath dinner a try this month - if it can be done with pizza and salad, surely I can handle that! Thanks for sharing your Advent gifting plans!

After showing the children where we were going to put the tree, our son came over to me and began to tell me about some of the things we could do to decorate. I can't remember all of them, but his final request was that we put some decorations in the windows. As he said that, he became very shy and very quietly told me that that way everyone who sees our house will know that we are having Christmas inside.
