Advent Calendars Online
My kids are now teenagers, but my wife still buys them the chocolate Advent Calendars. They still love them and open up the little paper windows dutifully every day. I was surprised to find a few online Advent calendars. No chocolate in these, but a little inspiration sprinkled with humor never hurt anyone.
Thanks to Tim Welch from the National Association of Catechetical Media Professionals (NACMP), http://nacmp.org/, for compiling this list. My favorite is the Busted Halo Advent Calendar.
Blessings to you and yours on this start of the Advent season.
