Basically, it is the old idea of making a chain and tearing a link off each day. It included ideas for things to print on each link. I loved many of the ideas. You may want to replace some to fit your own family.
Here they are;
Give someone a hug.
Take a moment to thank God for your Savior.
Thank God for your family.
Play Christmas carols and sing along!
Read Luke 2:1-20.
Put together a Christmas puzzle.
Read another story from the Bible about a different baby.
Thank God for his incredible love!
Recite the Christmas story from memory. “In those days,…”
Draw a Christmas picture.
Think of someone far away and say a prayer for him/her.
Tell someone special you love him or her.
Be a helper—pick up your books and toys.
Make a Christmas card and mail it to someone who might be lonely at Christmas.
Make a Christmas banner (use big paper), and display it.
Sweep the steps. Think about your sin being taken away!
Dust the living room; remember that God formed Adam from the earth!
Help bake something delicious for a treat or supper.
Play quietly. Remember the peace that God sent to us!
Practice your Christmas piano music, think about the angels’ message.
Write a Christmas prayer, say it at supper tonight.
Set the table for supper; consider the miracles when Jesus provided food.
Count the links left in this chain. Do that many jumping jacks!
Tell someone at home why you appreciate him or her.
Wash the kitchen cabinet doors; think about having your sins washed away
I love it! What a great idea!
