A Charlotte Mason Advent Guide
Many of you have enjoyed our advent guides over the last several years, telling us you used them with your family, class, churches, or simply for yourself. It is delightful to hear the reflections and fun spurred on through these guides. We hope you enjoy this year's edition just as much! And we invite you to liberally share this guide (digitally or physically) with others!
If you used our guide previously, you'll find old favorites and fresh inspiration mixed together in this 2025 edition. Musically, we're leaning into Handel's Messiah this year (which Alveary students are also enjoying in their composer study lessons), and you'll find new art and poetry to enjoy including religious art from 15th century Ethiopia and poems by Madeline L'Engle.
Designed to inspire both young and old, each week is a feast of ideas, including Bible readings, music, poetry, art, handicrafts, nature activities, and more. Activities often encourage narration and reflection, helping every participant to meditate and enjoy this season more deeply. Pick and choose your own plate (perhaps literally) to cultivate your celebration of the one whom Charlotte Mason called "the Saviour of the World."
