Is Advent coming up faster than you expected it to this year? It’s like that for me, for sure.

This is such an awesome thing to do, thank you.
Pick me! This is soo cool!
My biggest challenge is figuring out how to incorporate advent into our daily routine.
Thank you for doing this. Would greatly enjoy this gift.
Biggest challenge is slowing down to focus on the real reason for Christmas and getting caught up in the shopping, cooking, social stuff, etc. I keep telling my kids that the silver lining of this pandemic is that we’ll able to focus on what’s truly important this Christmas! ❤️
You’re a winner! I’ve emailed you to get your mailing information.
I’m so glad I found you. I am always looking for more resources for my catechism class. My biggest challenge during advent is planning something and then not sticking with it. Actually, this is my biggest challenge for most things.
What a great giveaway!
My biggest challenge is getting my family to focus on the Advent season and not let it be overshadowed by their excitement for Christmas.
This would be wonderful. My biggest challenge is making the time to be intentional about prayer during the Advent season.
My biggest challenge is to stay focused on what is truly important during the Advent season and not getting wrapped up in what society says that you should be doing.
Thanks for this opportunity and for working to share the Good News!
Excited for additional advent resources! One of my biggest challenges is my energy limitations. My husband works a rigorous job that keeps him away from us for weeks at a time. I homeschool and stay home with the children, but this offers unique challenges! I’m also dealing with a possibly heart defect so honestly my health has been the biggest obstacle. I have all these grand ideas but not enough time or energy to follow through! This would help us tremendously!
I am always looking for more ways to bring my young children and my family closer to Jesus! Thank you for doing this giveaway and for blessing families with beautiful resources.
Thank you for the opportunity! Have a blessed Advent!
My biggest Advent challenge is balancing the traditional Christmas preparations with true Advent preparations.
You’re a winner! I’ve emailed you!
My challenge is keeping the times peaceful and quiet for reflection rather than being distracted by the commercialism!
You’re a winner! I’ve emailed you to get your mailing info.
LOVE-ly Advent idea! And in keepng with the spirit of generosity of the Christmas season – early I know!
My biggest challenge is cuittng my TO DO list by a litle more every day! After more work and family items creep onto it each day, and my energy wanes at nite, I re-evaluate it each day. I know I have to keep my spirits up and my stresss low . .. to create the REAL JOY of Christmas around me.
My biggest challenge during Advent is focusing more on preparing for Christ and less on preparing (and stressing over) the gifts and celebration! ❤
You’re a winner! I’ve emailed you to get your mailing info.
Giving more time to God than trying to keep up with shopping for so many people.
Thanks for your interest, everyone! The giveaway is now closed and winners have been notified.
