Advent Book Calendar

Advent Book Calendar

How does your family celebrate the waiting?

Advent has a long and interesting history with various traditions popping up throughout.  Advent means “coming” in Latin.  Today Christians use the season of advent to celebrate the coming of Jesus into the world and it is also symbolic as the church waits for Christs’ return.

It is common to light a candle and read from the scriptures on the four Sundays leading up to Christmas Day.  There are numerous ways that a family can use this season to teach their children about Christ’s birth and his return. I encourage you to develop traditions that mark this time.  The traditions can be used to draw you away from the overwhelming pace that is so typical of this season.  They will remind you and your family about the joyous anticipation that awaits believers.

This package will take you through 24 days of Advent with a wonderful 25th book to open on Christmas Day. Each book has been carefully selected to help kids think about waiting and preparing. It includes classic tales of the season, from the real story of Saint Nicholas, The Nutcracker, and of course the tale of a Grinch who stole Christmas. It ends with a beautiful book that tells the story of Christmas using art masterpieces and texts directly from Scripture. This package will have a little something for everyone to revisit every year.

I love Classical Education Books. You can tell that they are in business because they truly love books. I feel like I am doing business with kindred spirits.

I haven't had the pleasure of visiting the store in person, but shop often online. They have such a great selection that I can't find elsewhere, and their customer service has been wonderful. Highly recommend!

Great selection of curated homeschool resources! Best prices across the country so I order here even if I'm in Ontario. Orders are a little slower to fulfill (if you are used to Amazon speeds) but just a bit of planning ahead and it won't be an issue. Staff are great at responding to emails and resolving any issues with my orders.

This bookstore has wonderful and large book selection. We bought our reading curriculum here for our homeschooling journey and it was super easy to order and quick shipping! I love that I can support a Canadian company. Highly recommend buying your books here.

A fantastic resource for homeschoolers and bibliophiles alike! They provide many popular homeschool curriculum options without the added cost of shipping (if you shop in store). My favorite part of the store, though, is upstairs where you can find a wide range of curated literature sorted by age and topic. There are so many beautiful, pre-vetted books to choose from, the only problem is trying to leave without breaking the budget.

A Canadian retailer that covers most of our homeschooling needs, from the hard to find books to the biggest curriculum companies. Excellent customer service. Shipping can be a little slow so keep that in mind when ordering. Over all, fantastic buying and shopping experience!
