Advent calendars are a wonderful way to teach children about Advent and Christmas. One family shared their experience when their children were seven and five. Each day the children would take turns opening the little door to view the picture depicting an aspect of the nativity. One day it was an angel. Beth told the story of the angel visiting Mary. The next day the picture behind the door was Mary. One of the children asked his mother why she was wearing a scarf on her head. "Because it must have been cold," Beth replied.
