Advent Calendar Item: An arrow or a rock
Scripture: Helaman 13:2-4, 14:2-8, 16:1-8 Samuel the Lamanite prophesies of Baby Jesus, tells the Zarahemlians where it's at, dodges arrows, and disappears. (The idea here is to check in with the Book of Mormon throughout the month to see what happens during those five years and emphasize that length of time. Hopefully it will make the peril and faith of the righteous more poignant by the time the sign comes at the end of the month/five years.)
Song: Samuel Tells of Baby Jesus
*Note: OK these posts are for my records as I am developing our daily scripture study this month. If you have additional ideas, I'd appreciate them.

Oh, I wish I had seen this before December started. We are doing an Advent calendar too, but ours goes through the savior's life and mission. I hope by Christmas, it will help my kids understand the importance of the holiday (just in time for Santa to crash the party!)
We do a scripture advent as well. We do the normal Christmas scriptures and include the following non-traditional scriptures:
Zacharias, Elisabeth & John the Baptist - Luke 1:39-45
Simeon - Luke 2:25-32
Anna - Luke 2:36-38
Nephi - 1 Nephi 11:14-21 (you already have that one I think)
King Benjamin - Mosiah 3:2-4
Isaiah - Isaiah 9:6
I love doing this because at the end of December I feel like we really did remember the Savior. Jared had a good idea this year - we're spending time each night with a "lesson" from the scripture advent, so FHE nights are all about fun Christmas activities (seeing Santa, gingerbread houses, caroling, etc.),
