One of our favorite family Christmas tradition is making our own Advent wreath. We are on our fifth year now, and counting. It's simple to do and a great bonding time for the family. This is how we made it...
Easy, right? So if you got inspired with this simple DIY Xmas project, why don't you start gathering your materials and make one for your home. You can also print the prayer from here.

I've also done a bit of work on our old wreaths to give it a fresher look.
This used to be red and green, now it's blue and gold. Sits on the dining table.
This wreath holds a big cinnamon candle, decorated with holly and cones.
