Free Printable Christmas Service Advent Cards
A couple years ago, I started putting service ideas in our advent calendar instead of candy. I wasn’t sure how my girls would like that since they LOVED fighting over a single piece of chocolate every morning, but it’s turned out pretty well. Now they look forward to trying to do the simple service they pull out of the calendar each morning instead.
Sometimes the service idea is for our own family and home—things like doing the dishes or organizing a family movie night with popcorn. Sometimes the service is for their friends, and sometimes it is for total strangers.
Christmas is such a busy time, and it is often difficult to find extra time to do large service projects, but I want to make sure my kids are thinking of others during the holiday season and this has been a great way to accomplish that. Because December is a crazy month, sometimes they don’t get a chance to do every single service, but they sure try! I love seeing how they’ve caught the spirit of serving others during the holiday season—the joy it brings to them is inspiring to me.
If you do Elf on a Shelf, it might also be fun to have your elf encourage the service ideas instead of putting them into an advent calendar. Any way you do it will help your kids to catch the spirit of the season!
