Set aside the chocolate and take your Advent calendar experience to the next level with a Living Advent Calendar: unveil a new window display every night
With events in churches being restricted this year, this is a great way of involving your whole community during Advent whilst telling the story of Christmas. Ask local shop owners or residents to decorate a prominent window in their shop or home just for one day in advent, which pop up each day like a living advent calendar. They will need to sign up in advance so you can tell them the theme for that day and even provide them with the number to display, some templates for figures or a bible verse. Then encourage your local community to try to find the window each day so it becomes an advent trail.

We are organising this in Martham and would be happy to share the experience with others.
