As a new Catholic, I am wishing so much that I could have encountered and embraced the faith sooner, so I could have celebrated all these wonderful feast days and seasons with my boys before they got so big! Only a 13 year old and a 21 year old still st home, so I feel a bit downhearted. But I still intend to implement them!Kerry Wolfhttp://brandnewcatholic.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1026245796926061340.post-20486909536499181982012-02-10T23:54:07.689-06:002012-02-10T23:54:07.689-06:00love these ideas...I put my tree up as early as po...love these ideas...I put my tree up as early as possible so that it is celebrated longer...but I do love all these ideas...your blog gives me so many ideas to become a better Catholic for my childrean and pray harder that my hubby becomes a Catholic himself...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1026245796926061340.post-85050862395087552932011-01-01T22:30:28.458-06:002011-01-01T22:30:28.458-06:00I'm a lerker and I just have to say I love thi...I'm a lerker and I just have to say I love this post!!

We sing the song and then hang the day's number on our Jesse tree. Then I came up with twelve different ways that we can show generousity or kindness to others. Being as they were shown such generousity from those who gave them many gifts, now they are to spread that generousity to others. Yesterday we made two fleece tie blankets and delivered them to the NICU at St. E. the kids loved this and so did i! others were: make and send a care package to a soldier, pray a rosary for someone in need, take dinner to a family, make cookies and deliver them to the police dept with a note thaking them for protecting us, visit a nursing home, donate a stuffed animal to a needy child, offer to watch someone's children for the day, have a family over for dinner that we never have before,deliver goodies to friends by ringing the doorbell and running ;) write a letter to a seminarian....I was going to post about it once we had finished celebrating. I love how you laid it all out here...Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07538645211004342484noreply@blogger.com
