Advent Activities by KoJo Designs {Christmas Tradition Series}

We met Kirstin a couple years ago at SNAP! and she is much fun, plus she has some mad sewing skills!

Hey Crafting Chicks friends! I am Kirstin, half of the sister team that blogs at kojodesigns and Shiny Happy Sprinkles, and I am thrilled to be here today as part of this Christmas Traditions series!

We have a lo-ong list of Christmas traditions in our house- from an annual ornament exchange to making and enjoying special holiday recipes (my mom’s fudge, my dad’s green chile, my mother-in-law’s seven layer bars, my sister’s green chile cheese ball!) to always getting new jammies on Christmas Eve, to a whole list of special holiday movies that we watch each year, to baking a birthday cake for Jesus.

Our Christmas tradition that wraps all of these into one, however, is our Advent Calendar.

We fill each day’s pouch with a treat and an activity- and we make sure to hit all of the traditions I mentioned above (plus many lower-maintenace activities like sipping cocoa, listening to Christmas carols, and reading the Christmas story from the book of Luke in the Bible).

The free printables for our Advent Activities, plus a whole page of blank ones for you to add your family’s activities, are here.

Thanks for having us, Crafting Chicks! Friends, we have a ton of handmade gift ideas (like DIY metallic alphabet magnets, a tea wreath, a DIY clutch, polka dot cork letters to start) at kojodesigns- we’d love it if you’d stop on by!
