Final Thoughts:
I purchased this download for $6.99, and I am so glad I did. I have been looking for a Christmas study that was not centered on making ornaments all December and that was simply an advent calendar. “A Christmas Adventure” has plenty of activities and hands on ideas to make the whole season special and festive. I love how it includes history of things we associate with Christmas like caroling. It can be used for all the kids. My kids range in age from 12 to 4, and I plan on starting this December 1st with all of them. It is the kind of study that can last a few minutes a day or center your studies around it.
