This year I am participating in the #LIGHTtheWORLD campaign: 25 Ways in 25 Days to light the world. I can't think of a better way to celebrate the Christmas season, especially after such a nasty and negative election year! Let's change things with kindness and love this year! Below you will find links to ideas for each day's theme as well, so make sure and bookmark this page so that you can participate with your family each day. The 25 days will kick off on Dec. 1st with a world-wide day of service!

Instructions
Print Both pages of the calendar. I printed mine on cardstock paper so it would be sturdy and last the whole month. With an xacto knife cut the bottom and the sides of each number square but NOT the top. Glue each of the edges of the top page to the back page. Open a few tabs to make sure it is lined up correctly. Careful not to have glue get into any of the numbered areas.
HOW TO USE IT:
Each day open the flap for that day of the month starting with opening number 1 on December 1st and so on. Refer back to mothersniche.com and also Mormon.org to find activity ideas and more FREE printables for each day.
Here are the daily themes,and an idea for each (Don't worry, each day will have an idea linked by the time the challenge starts on December 1st):

I’m making 25 small posters to put up in my home for the Light the World 25 ways in 25 Days activity. Your ideas are wonderful. On some of the days, what you wrote helped me think of something else that I know I would not have thought of by myself. I’m so grateful to those creative people (like you!) who share their thoughts and ideas with the rest of us, to help get our creative juices flowing, or to help when we don’t have any juice to begin with. 🙂
