Here is the scripture advent called "Remember in December." Just click the thumbnail below. I wish I knew the source, but it just came in an email.
Now for the how-to for the
Nativity Advent
Supplies needed:
- Cardstock
- Nativity Stickers (mine were Stickopotamus brand dug out from the depths of my scrapbooking supplies)
- Scissors
- Double stick tape
- Magnets (I cut up the ones that come on phone books)
- Staples
2. Cut them out.
3. Attach magnets to the back with double stick tape.
4. Make a little envelope to house the nativity pieces by stapling together a piece of cardstock.
5. Then, put up one piece a day until Christmas. We put them on the fridge so it would be in the middle of everything. I tried a cookie sheet first, but ha ha, the magnets did not stick.
It will look like this on Christmas day. I am lovin' our little Nativity advent!

I love this idea. I collect nativities...and I think this should be an addition to the rest of them this year.
Thanks girl!
Absolutely wonderful idea!! Thanks for posting :)
We do this too, it's so fun the boys love it and the twins are getting into it. We have a song, scripture and poem or story that go with ours every night, we call it our Christmas devotional. It's a great way to end the evening.
So cute for kids! I'm so making one of these tomorrow night for FHE!
What double sided tape do you use? I can't seem to find stuff that works - and as for the cookie sheet - if you have different varieties, try them all. I have found some that work and some that don"t (I have been know to use cake pans in a pinch as well)
This is a super cute idea! Thanks! This year we are using an advent calender that I found on Sugardoodle that is from lds.about.com and its link is http://www.sugardoodle.net/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2382&Itemid=5
and next year I plan to use an advent calendar from the Dec 2003 friend (on pages 24, 25 and 34 and 35 (they put the instructions far behind the illustration) - that is if I don't use this!!!!! Thanks again!
This is so smart, Michelle!! Now I just need to find some cute nativity stickers!! Thanks!
What a great idea! I love advent calendars but had never thought of doing one involving the nativity scene. What a lovely way to include Jesus in every day leading up to Christmas.
Thanks for sharing this!
I LOVE this! Such a great idea to remember why we celebrate Christmas.

Henckel house-
I use the yellow Scotch permanent double sided tape. You can see it in the supplies pic. It has always worked for me.
