If you don't have family dinner, you could easily do it at breakfast. You can probably find dozens of versions of the prayers on Google. It seems that we use a different form every year. The big deal in our house is WHO gets to blow them out? (The kids all take turns- youngest to oldest, which is the opposite of who gets to do the Advent Calendar each day- that one is oldest to youngest.)<br />This year, starting December 17th I hope to also start to O Antiphons. This is new to me, but I keep reading about them on different Catholic blogs so I thought we'd try.The Happy Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10372592850079744849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1222053555904320896.post-7374622903750665072011-12-06T11:48:02.310-05:002011-12-06T11:48:02.310-05:00Love the Christmas pics of you and your family!
I...Love the Christmas pics of you and your family!<br /><br />I know what you mean about the advent wreath. I'm a cradle catholic but we never had one while growing up. Some years, we light it daily and read the day's mass readings and say a prayer. This year, all I've managed to do is light the candles while we eat supper. IF we are home for supper! I do like watching the flames on the candles though. It always seems to put me in a more reflective mood and I often find myself saying a silent prayer while watching them. I know the kids enjoy having the candles lit too, although I'm not sure that it makes them more prayerful. It's better than nothing I guess.<br /><br />There's a book from wau.org on family traditions to celebrate advent that you might find useful. Not sure of the title at the moment but you should be able to find it at the website's storefront fairly easily if you're interested.<br /><br />Have a great day!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03204590757920247893noreply@blogger.com
