Advent: Stocking Stuffers

Gahhhhh. Stockings are my favorite. Actually, in my family, we have canned our gift exchange except for the little kids. And instead, we just get stockings for each other.  But our stocking insides may not be traditional. Are there traditional stocking gifts?...

What is Advent? How do you celebrate Advent? What is an Advent Calendar? How do you use an Advent Calendar? All of these questions are great as we dig in deeper to the tradition of Advent and how we celebrate it this year.
