Consider these ideas for Advent Watching and Waiting that you can incorporate into your own unique circumstances:

• As a regular caregiver for little ones: Watch the animated classic – or a least this excerpt of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” to help remind us what is the real reason for the season.
• From a distance: Send out this Advent Color By Number and invite everyone to color and read “together” from wherever they are.
• With older grandkids: Sign up together to help with one of the season’s many worship services. Assist in Advent Sunday worship by lighting a candle on the Advent Wreath and sharing a short reading, which can be done by an adult or an older child. Or volunteer to be part of the Hospitality Team or to Usher for Christmas Eve.
• At a family gathering: Color, cut, and fold to make this Paper Nativity Scene that can be displayed (and easily transported).
