Hello December and we’ve made a special calendar for you this month… it is an Advent calendar.
You are welcome to either print the first page as our usual calendar and decorate a tree each day for the month of December or you can print both pages and with a craft knife cut along three sides of each window on the first page. Line your pages up and as you open a window each day of the month you will reveal a Nativity scene as December rolls along. To print them out click on the images, they will open in a new tab… choose to print them using “landscape,” it just works better.
Meanwhile here are our links and ideas to add to your calendars and explore during the busy month of December…
