Hello lovely people, today I am sharing a wonderful advent calendar created by Ruth Newport. I have known Ruth for over 5 years. She is part of the neurodivergent tribe, lives with M.E. and Long Covid. Despite her physical limitations, she is one of the most positive, kind, persistent souls I know, who faces daily adversity with grace. This is one of the ways she hopes to contribute to her family financially, while also bringing other families together with Advent activities.
You can order the activities so they fit in with your usual Christmas preparations (things like, decorate the tree, make Christmas cookies, write cards, etc) as well as having other great ideas and some blank options if there is a tradition special to your family. It's delivered as a PDF, so you get it as soon you order it. It is a really lovely alternative to pictures, chocolate, or these crazy expensive candle/make up/alcohol/jewellery alternatives. And she is only charging $5 for all her hard work and creativity.
Please check it out and share it with your networks. I'd love to this to be a success for Ruth.
