In our tips for simple, stress-free advent activities we encourage you to create advent activities around things you’d already be doing. Incorporating your family traditions into your advent activities works so well! Every December 23, the anniversary of my grandmother’s passing, we gather together with my aunt, uncle, and cousins to share a meal and lots of heartfelt conversation. We sip glasses of bubbly, eat Cajun prawns around the coffee table in the living room, and take turns reflecting upon our year and all that we are thankful for. It is, without a doubt, our favorite tradition with my side of the family!
