You could use <a href="http://www.aholyexperience.com/2010/11/free-jesse-tree-advent-devotional-book/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+HolyExperience+%28Holy+Experience%29&utm_content=Google+Reader" rel="nofollow">Ann Voskamp's Jesse tree ornaments and scripture readings</a>for your branches!<br /><br />Our most beloved advent tradition is to have an empty manger laid out on a table in our living room. When the children do something exceptionally good or kind they get to place a piece of straw in the empty bed. By the time Christmas day arrives the manger is plush and soft for the Infant Child!
