Embrace Traditions: My Advent Angel for a Faith-Filled Christmas

As the Advent season approaches, many families are looking for ways to embrace traditions that foster a faith-filled approach to Christmas. We hope you embrace a new tradition with the My Advent Angel.

GROW IN VIRTUE

The My Advent Angel Doll serves as a tangible reminder of the true reason for the season—Jesus—and also provides gentle encouragement for your children to practice virtue in a special way during Advent. The motivation for being good is not what we might get from Santa, but what we might give in love to Jesus and others.

We have Fruits of the Spirit Virtue Cards available for digital download with over 100 ideas of how each fruit can be practiced in real life.

Each fruit includes a definition, a supporting Bible verse, prompts for family discussion, and concrete actions to help us better love God and others.

TALK ABOUT ANGELS

The My Advent Angel Doll makes children aware of the wonderful truth that, "The whole air about us is filled with angels" (St. John Chrysostom). Delight your children by talking about the fact that angels are real and that they have one especially assigned to them! It will give your child an opportunity to form a new or deeper relationship with their guardian angel.

Spark Discussions of Faith

The My Advent Angel Book is rich with detailed illustrations that make the story more than the words on the page. The book and doll are not only perfect to tell the story of Christmas and why Advent is important, but they offer wonderful opportunities for faith-filled discussions with your children.

A few examples of discussions that have been sparked with children after reading our book:

• Are angels real?

• Why did Jesus cry when he was a baby? Did He feel the things we feel?

• What does generosity mean?

• What is the story of Adam and Eve?

• What is the story of Jesus on the cross?

Make the Tradition Yours

We hope you embrace a new tradition with My Advent Angel. You will get much more than a beautiful book and doll—you will instill important values and beliefs in your children or grandchildren.

May the spirit of Christmas shine bright in your home with My Advent Angel this season!
