Celebratng advent and christmas with children


As advent has arrived and Christmas has begun, we are planning to do Jesse tree like last year.




Started doing advent calendar. Prepared our advent wreath but it was a very slow process this year.
We thought of doing Wisemen adventure tradition what we found from catholic inspired

Annnu and Munnu took part in nativity play at St Joseph Home as part of their home schooling group. Annu was a wise man and Munnu was shepherd. It was fabulous to see the efforts of each and every home schooling mums.


We went to German market during Christmas, it was beautiful to see wonderful crafts, delicious and colourful sweets from many countries especially from Germany. We enjoyed it.

We were aimed to do Jesse tree, unfortunately we couldn't do it properly though children tried to put as much ornaments they could do.






Following homeschooler's swimming, all the children started singing twelve days of christmasTwelve days of christmas was written in England. This is an allegory. Each of the thing in the song got a hidden meaning, helps the young catholics to learn  more about the faith.Found some information on it in shower of roses. There is a wonderful lapbook page found in homeschool share.  Song sounds very interesting, encouraged children to learn the song.
