Beautiful

This Christmas program is beautiful and inspiring. My kids are very young, so we didn't implement every part of the program. We mainly used the memory statement cards, sang the songs, and read the books and the poetry. The Scripture cards were one of my favorite parts. We read one verse in the evenings leading up to Christmas. I'm sure we will come back to this Advent resource in the coming years. I bought the print version along with the book set. I've always appreciated the quality of all the print items I've bought from this shop and I would definitely recommend buying print vs digital if you can!

We thoroughly enjoyed this unit. My kids are 6 and 4 so there was something for everyone and we will be using it again next year. Love all the info and ease of use.

Simple & Lovely

So nice that I didn’t have to gather all of the supplies and books, since they were included! We really love “Apple Tree Christmas,” “The Friendly Beasts,” and “Christmas Tree Farm,” which were all new to our family. I don’t love dePaola’s “The Three Wise Men” and am unsure about “God Gave Us Christmas,” but again, I didn’t have to spend the time picking things out, and I like the biblical focus and cute, easy, and themed ideas! The illustrations included for the nativity and memory cards are really lovely. My kids and I are having a great time so far (halfway through the first week).

I have really enjoyed the simplicity and the content. It’s easy to implement and doesn’t feel overwhelming.
