Christmas is such a fun holiday to celebrate! The festive parties, the decorations, visiting Santa, all the Christmas lights, the presents, and spending time with friends and family. But we can easily get caught up in all that and get distracted from the real meaning of what we’re celebrating - Jesus’ birth.

With this Christmas Bible Reading Advent, your children can color the fun Christmas scene while also daily reading and reflecting on the story of Jesus’ birth.

This printable is a 36x24” poster. Each day, starting on December 1 and ending on Christmas Day, your children can color the date’s picture and read the corresponding Bible verse. The verses selected for this countdown tell the story of Jesus’ birth. It will help focus your children on the greatest gift ever given.

Christmas Bible Reading Advent

Let me tell you a little bit about this Christmas Bible Reading Advent:

• It’s free! You are welcome to download as many copies as you’d like for your personal use only. Just submit your email address in the form at the bottom of this post and you’ll be immediately directed to the download. You’re also welcome to print out copies of this countdown for your neighbors, your classroom or your friends. As long as you’re not selling it, we’d love for you to share and see it get used!

• Printing is a breeze! You can print it at your local print shop as an engineer print. I always print my posters at my local Office Depot as an engineering print or blueprint. For a black and white 24x36 poster like this one, it typically costs less than $5. Visit my instructions for printing blueprints with Office Depot.

• It’s a great coloring activity for your kids! Grab crayons, markers, or colored pencils and have at it. Your kids will have fun coloring all the festive characters and details. Color the drawing following the numbers for each day of the month.

• Read a Bible verse every day from December 1-25! At the bottom of the Christmas Advent there is a Bible verse to read for each day. These verses go through the story of Jesus’ birth from start to finish.
