Less than 2 weeks until Advent!

Each year I seem to have a habit of putting a lot of thought into Lenten sacrifices in preparation for Easter, but during Advent I fill my time with shopping, baking, final exams ect. Although geared for families, this post has some great ideas for Advent activities to prepare us for Christmas.

Readers and bloggers, what do you do during Advent to prepare for Christ? Any suggestions??
