Make Advent meaningful and stress-free with My Advent Angel, a tradition designed to inspire virtue and faith in your family.
Here's how: My Advent Angel offers a simple, faith-filled way to celebrate Advent, moving beyond the Santa-centric hustle. Unlike high-pressure traditions like Elf on the Shelf, which according to the New York Post, some parents find “annoying” and “stressful.”My Advent Angel focuses on love, patience, and the Nativity—without the baggage of materialism.

My Advent Angel is intentional yet simple.
My Advent Angel Can Fly
Let your My Advent Angel Doll “fly” to new spots in your home, from the mantle to the Christmas tree, as a gentle reminder to practice virtues for Baby Jesus. Move it weekly at the lighting of each Advent candle or after Sunday church for a fun family search, keeping the tradition effortless.
Foster Family Time and Discussion
Reading the My Advent Angel Book aloud builds family bonds and inspires children through:
Character Building: Emphasizes virtues like love and patience
Creative Writing: Child-friendly verse sparks imagination
Salvation History: Explores Creation, the Fall, Jesus’s life and Resurrection
First Christmas Facts: Teaches about the Nativity, the Star of Bethlehem, and how angels played a role

Inspire Virtue Year-Round
My Advent Angel Virtue Cards dive into the Fruit of the Spirit with child-friendly definitions, Bible verses, discussion prompts, and over 100 practical ideas to practice virtues like love and patience. Instead of focusing on material rewards, these Virtue Cards teach children that choosing virtue has its own reward and is a way to show love for Jesus and others.
