Christmas School

This is the book we got... there are others out there but one thing I liked about this book is that you could either 1. make a craft (full details inside the book) or color the ornaments they have in the book and hang those (it is a cut/color/past/hang kind of thing) The crafts are easy though.

We got the below book from the library last year and LOVED IT ... it is just a story but it goes through the Jesse Tree and the artwork is great

This came up on the above book's site... I have never read it but it looks good.

You might also look up where some of the hymns came from... like Silent Night, O Holy Night... Might be an interesting study.

There is also a resource called Advent Foretold by Wanda Sanseri... I was just sent this link in one of the email groups. I have not done this but it looks interesting.

I also found this site that has more activities at the bottom of the page.

I did a search on Google for celebrating the Advent.
 
Here's the link to the A Blessed Christmas homeschool curriculum:
