[quote=Anonymous]Former Catholic here in an interfaith relationship raising a child mainly Jewish. I absolutely draw the line at an advent calendar. Advent is a really specific, religious ritual. In my family we did the advent calendar, plus special prayers each evening and candles for each night of advent. So if I were raising a child totally Jewish, there's no way I'd ok an advent calendar. I will say, though, that advent calendars seem to be increasingly commercialized these days. So to the extent that some secular Christmas traditions don't really seem to be a threat, maybe advent calendars are becoming the same thing. Even so, I think I would nix the advent calendar because it's specifically meant to make a huge deal about anticipating the birth of Christ. This just is not compatible with a Jewish education.
