I put reds and greens and my accumulated varieties of ornaments in the Dining room, where we spend most of our time. In the living room, which is for Services and more focused gtherings I put the White/Crystal/ glass ornaments with the green to allow for the purples of Advent, before the Christmas Eve Switch. I do agree that massice amounts of Christmas stuff before Thanksgiving, and sometimes before Reformation, is annoying. But for Advent, I like the atmosphere. Also It helps me get mindful of the little time I have left to get huge quantities of things ready.<br /><br />In regard to Jesse Trees, they are used like Advent Calendars, but with a specific theme, this being the geneology of Jesus' Incarnation for God's plan of Salvation. It is good for all of us think on these things in this busy time, but is especially helpful for children to see the development of God's outworking of history in and through the lives of specific people.<br />This would make an very helpful Sunday School Project. Parents could be involved.Sarah Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11166369508132015509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8846201125255937456.post-48376577199703004352015-11-28T20:08:31.817-08:002015-11-28T20:08:31.817-08:00I am extremely impressed with the amount of decora...I am extremely impressed with the amount of decorating you have done already! I always kind of balk at it, even though it is advent. I don't want it to look so Christmasy already! I went shopping today and was annoyed at the Christmas music on the radio and all the decorations. I feel like it is too soon! I need to get with the program.<br /><br />I have never heard of a Jesse tree. Is one drawing for each day? Like an advent calendar? We could print them and give them to our Sunday school kids.Clayvesselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07796290313996857351noreply@blogger.com
