Day 5 of Advent focuses on continuing the preparation for the coming of Christmas, both spiritually and in everyday life. Depending on how you observe Advent, here are a few ideas to mark this day meaningfully:

Acts of Kindness

• Do something thoughtful for someone in need—drop off a card, offer to help with errands, or donate to a charity.
• Write a message of encouragement or gratitude to someone who has been a blessing in your life.

Family or Personal Traditions

• Light the Advent wreath or a candle to symbolise hope. If you’ve been using a daily Advent calendar, open today’s door or complete the activity.
• Bake or prepare something special as part of the festive season, such as cookies or treats to share.

Creative Activity

• Write a reflection about the things you are looking forward to this Christmas.
• Engage in a craft or activity that brings joy, like decorating or making homemade ornaments.
