Advent Activities - Day 9

Possible Activity-

Read “Christmas Day in the Morning” By Pearl S Buck  or "Bobby Decker's Santa Claus".  They can both be googled and found complete.  Plan a service project to do together as a family. Don’t just write a check, but allow your children to participate in the full experience of giving selflessly to others.

 


Some ideas are…

Bake cookies or a meal for a shut-in and deliver it together.

Go clean house for a new mother.

Go shopping for new clothes for a single parent and child.

Offer free babysitting to a young couple

Make a care package for a soldier, missionary or foster child.

Mentor a child! 

Pack up a huge amount of clothes, toys and un-needed items for a women's shelter.     

Find someone in immediate need and meet it.
