Good Deed Advent Jar

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

A fun way to count down the days until Christmas. Make this advent jar full of good deeds.

Materials:

Instructions:
Make the Reindeer Candy Holder as described on this page. (You can also just use a plain jar if you want, or decorate a jar as you want!)

Cut 24 small pieces of paper, approximately 2 inches by 3 inches. On each piece of paper, write down a good deed. Fold up these pieces of paper and place them in the jar.

Starting on December 1st, pick one good deed paper out of the jar. Do the good deed listed on the paper. Do this every day to help you count down the days until Christmas. On Christmas eve, after you do your last good deed, your jar will be empty; why not fill it with treats for santa!
