ʻO ka mahina ma mua o ka Kalikimaka ka manawa lōʻihi loa o ka makahiki no nā keiki! ʻAʻole kaulana no ko lākou hoʻomanawanui, pono nā keiki e kali a kali i ka lā nui. ʻAʻole kōkua ke kūʻai ʻia nā mea hoʻonani Kalikimaka i Kepakemapa i kēia manawa a hoʻomaka nā lekiō e hoʻokani i nā mele Kalikimaka ma Halloween. E kōkua iā ʻoukou e nā keiki e hoʻokō i nā lā lōʻihi o Dekemaba ma ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i ka Advent. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi, kōkua pū ʻo Advent iā ʻoe e hoʻomau i ka manaʻo o ka Kalikimaka iā Iesū ma mua o Santa Claus, nā makana, a me nā ʻano ʻoihana ʻē aʻe o ka Kalikimaka.

ʻO Advent kahi huaʻōlelo Latin ʻo ia ka manaʻo ʻo "hiki mai." I ka Kristiano halepule, ʻo ka hiki ʻana mai ka manawa e hoʻomākaukau ai a e kali ai i ka hānau ʻana o Iesū. Hoʻomaka ʻo Advent i ʻehā mau lā Sābati ma mua o ka Kalikimaka, ʻo ia hoʻi e hoʻomaka pinepine i ka Lāpule ma hope o ka Hoʻomaikaʻi.

No laila pehea ʻoe e hoʻolauleʻa ai i ka Advent? ʻO kahi ala ʻo ke kūʻai a hana ʻana i kahi lei Advent e waiho ma kāu papaʻaina. ʻO ka lei Advent maʻamau he ʻōmaʻomaʻo me ʻehā nā kukui pi, ʻekolu poni a me hoʻokahi poni. He ʻano kikoʻī ko kēlā me kēia kukui ma ka Advent Wreath:

Hōʻike ke kukui hoʻokahi (ʻulaʻula) i ka manaʻolana. Ua kapa pinepine ia ke kukui a na kaula.
Hōʻike ke kukui ʻelua (ʻulaʻula) i ka maluhia. Ua kapa pinepine ia ka ipukukui anela.
Hōʻike ke kukui ʻekolu (ʻulaʻula) i ka hauʻoli. Ua kapa pinepine ia ka ipukukui kahuhipa.
ʻO ke kukui ʻehā (ʻulaʻula) ke aloha. Ua kapa pinepine ia ka ipukukui Betelehema.

Nui nā lei hoʻi e komo pū me kahi kukui Kristo i waenakonu o ka lei.

No ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana me ka lei Advent, hoʻomālamalama ʻoe i ke kukui i kēlā me kēia Lāpule o ka Advent. I ka la Sabati mua, hoa iho oe i ke kukui; ʻO ka Lāpule ʻelua e hoʻomālamalama ʻoe i nā kukui hoʻokahi a me ʻelua, etc. Hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa pinepine i nā heluhelu e hele pū me nā kukui kukui ma ka pūnaewele a i ʻole ma nā hale kūʻai puke Kalikiano. A i ʻole e ʻimi i kekahi Nā puke Kalikimaka no nā keiki ʻo ia ke kumuhana o ka pule a heluhelu pū me kāu mau keiki.

ʻO kahi ala ʻē aʻe e hoʻolauleʻa ai i ka Advent ʻo ka hana ʻana i kahi kalena Advent. ʻOiaʻiʻo, makemake nā keiki i nā kalena me ke kokoleka i loko, akā ʻokoʻa iki nā mea aʻu e kamaʻilio nei, aia ma kahi o nā hana like ʻole e hana ai i kēlā me kēia lā. No ka laʻana, i kekahi lā hiki iā ʻoe ke heluhelu i kahi puke a i ʻole ka paukū Baibala, hana i nā kuki Kalikimaka no kahi hoalauna mehameha, a hīmeni pū i nā mele Kalikimaka. Aia kekahi mau manaʻo no ka hana ʻana i kahi kalena Advent

Ke kākau ʻana i kahi hana ma kēlā me kēia huinahā o ka alemanaka Kekemapa
Ke kākau ʻana i nā hana ma nā ʻāpana pepa a hoʻokomo i loko o ka hue, a laila kahakiʻi ʻana i kahi haʻawina i kēlā me kēia lā (ʻoluʻolu kēia koho, akā e hoʻomaopopo pono i nā hana āpau i hiki iā ʻoe ke hana wale. i ka lā ʻaʻohe ou manawa e noho ai i ka lumi kuke.)
Ke hana ʻana i kahi pūʻulu o Advent drawers mai nā pahu hoʻokūkū. E hoʻopili wale i 25 mau pahu pāʻani (ʻelima lālani o ʻelima pahu) a ʻōwili i kahi ʻāpana pepa a puni ka ʻāpana. I kēia manawa hiki iā ʻoe ke lepili i nā pahu pāʻani 1-25 a kau i kahi ʻāpana pepa me kahi hana i loko o kēlā me kēia drawer.

Hiki paha iā ʻoe ke ʻimi i nā kalena Advent premade ma ka pūnaewele a i ʻole ma kahi hale kūʻai puke Kalikiano.

Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻolauleʻa i ka Advent ma kou home ma ke kāhiko ʻana i kahi lāʻau Jesse. Ua uhi ʻia kahi lāʻau Iese (i kapa ʻia ma hope o ka makua kāne o ke Aliʻi David) i nā mea hoʻonani e hōʻike ana i nā kānaka a me nā moʻolelo ma ka Baibala. Ko e fakatātaá, te ke kau ki ha ʻaʻake, ha ānuenue, pe ko ha fonu lupe ke fakafofongaʻi ʻa Noa pe ha hapa ke fakafofongaʻi ʻa Tēvita. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻohana i kahi kumulāʻau Kalikimaka ma luna o ka papa ʻaina e like me kāu lāʻau Jesse, e kau ana i kahi mea hoʻonani i kēlā me kēia pō a heluhelu i kahi paukū o ka Baibala e pili ana i ke ʻano āu i koho ai. Hiki iā ʻoe ke heluhelu iā lākou i ka moʻolelo e pili ana Pehea ko ke Akua "hoomaha" a wehewehe i ke ano o ka moolelo.

ʻO ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i ka hiki ʻana mai e kōkua i ka mālama ʻana i kāu mau keiki iā Iesū a hāʻawi iā lākou i nā hana i kēlā me kēia lā e hoʻolōʻihi i kēlā mahina pau ʻole o Dekemaba.
