Share your Advent & Christmas Traditions / activities!!

[CCsGarden]

Welcome to the Advent Traditions/activities thread! All are welcome!

I would love too hear about all your Traditions you do during this season of Advent, As we prepare for the coming of Our Lord. If you don't have any, you are welcome to follow along and learn some new traditions!

And I would like too hear what you do for Christmas as well!

Here are some of my Traditions!

Spoiler: some of traditions

The Advent candles
(three are purple and one is pink). The candles represent Jesus coming as a light in the darkness. One candle is lit each Sunday until all four candles are lit. As Christmas draws nearer, each candle brings a little more light into the darkness. Sometimes a white candle is lit on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day to symbolize that Jesus is with us. This can be referred to as the "Christ candle."

Bach Cantatas
I love listing to those!

The Jesse tree

Spoiler: The Jesse tree

The Jesse Tree ( more of a lost tradition)
I have been doing the Jesse tree for my whole life and found it as a beautiful tradition.
What is the Jesse tree?
The Jesse Tree is a decorated tree or branch, typically adorned with ornaments representing biblical figures and events leading up to the birth of Jesus. Each ornament is associated with a specific Bible passage, which is read and reflected upon during the Advent season

I will edit this post later with some more of my Traditions!

Have blessed and fruitful advent season! Have fun!
I will post pictures every week!

P.s
You all are welcome to talk about your plans for Christmas or activities you are doing as well!

I am going to be honest when I say we don’t have any Advent traditions.
Buuuuuut…
Every year on Christmas Eve we watch a movie called The Polar Express.
I don’t know if that counts.
But I love what the rest of you are doing!

That's alright! not everyone has traditions. Maybe some will learn new things by hearing what others do
