<p>Okay, since 'tis the season and it's a theme around here <span><img alt="blush.gif" src="http://files.mothering.com/images/smilies/blush.gif"></span>....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Can someone offer ideas for Advent-specific children's books? I have plenty of ideas for Christmas and winter, but I'd like something that talks about how Advent is celebrated, especially something Waldorfy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We found <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325&tag=motheringhud-20&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FWaiting-Noel-Advent-Ann-Dixon%2Fdp%2F0802852394%2Fref%3Dntt_at_ep_dpt_1" rel="norewrite" target="_blank">this one</a> at our library last year. Any others??</p>

<p>We have the <a href="http://www.waldorfbooks.com/item_151.htm" target="_blank">Christmas Stories Together</a> book and I highly recommend it!  There are 36 stories in it starting with the story of Mary being told by an angel she is going to have a baby called Jesus.  We  read one story per night last Christmas (my DD was 3 then, nearly 4) and she loved it.  She talked about Mary and Jesus for months afterwords.  I'm looking forward to reading them all again this year!</p>
