Created by Jan, a mother of eight, to bring more of Christ into Christmas for my family.
how it got started
More than 10 years ago I was Inspired by a stylized stained glass Christmas card, and designed a traditional nativity scene. I included the Holy Family, Shepherds, Wise Men, Angels, Stars and Animals. Using a brief verse of scripture and a carol verse to be sung each night, I developed a 24 day family devotional tradition. This daily tradition is loved and still carried out by the 4 children at home, and also the 4 with their own families and homes. Now shared with each of you to enjoy with your families. Bring Christ into the center of your Christmas Celebration with this classic Nativity Advent Calendar. Start a family tradition that will last for generations. Celebrate the birth of Christ all month with a Christmas countdown visual reminder the whole family will remember in years to come.
handcrafted by you
This Nativity Calendar is handcrafted by you of your choice of wool blend or recycled acrylic felt for quality and durability. Each figure will be carefully layered to recreate the look of stained glass. Each figure rests in its own place in the window, and one each day is added to the center to make up the nativity scene, with the Christ child arriving on Christmas Eve. With the durable felt figures. children can safely redesign the scene over and over, Soft recycled acrylic felt adheres to itself, no hooks necessary.

The Advent Calendar brings a wonderful Christmas touch to our home. We can gather each night in December to read a Bible verse, sing a Christmas song and place a character in the scene. It keeps us focused on the true meaning of the season.
Anna M. (Lodi, CA)I got this calendar a few weeks ago, and I have just loved it! The pieces are very detailed, and you really get the image of a stained glass window. It's such a great way to remember Christ during the holidays. Plus it's fun to create your own nativity scene. Even my husband likes taking his turn to put on a shepherd or star :)
Joanna B.(Orem, UT)This nativity is a how my wife starts her day. She wakes up takes care of the baby and puts the new figure on the nativity scene:) it is really well made and looks like it will last long past when our kids will be the ones putting the figures on the nativity.
