December Themes

November 30, 2020 By Jennifer Lambert Leave a Comment

When my kids were very small, we had monthly themes on our bulletin board, for our homeschool lessons, and to order our daily lives.

As the kids get older, the themes aren’t quite so vivid. I enjoy the liturgical calendar, the natural cycles of the world, and celebrating the flow and small events in our lives.

We loved these themed Calendar Connections.

Fun Stuff: National Days

We love reading about saints and sometimes do spiritual activities. And we also talk about how white saviors and missionaries weren’t the best for indigenous peoples.

See how we celebrate Advent.

During December and the beginning of the winter season, we all come together to celebrate different things; whether it be Saint Nicholas Day, Bodhi Day (Enlightenment of Buddha), Eid al Adha (Islamic Feast of Sacrifice), Santa Lucia Day, Las Posadas in Mexico, Winter Solstice, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa.

But yet we are all in the darkness of Winter searching for Light.
