The Advent Journal 2026
A day-by-day Advent calendar for the whole family. One page a day, one small thing to do together, and a candle to light on Sundays.
$9Instant download · dated for 2026
Who it’s for: Families who want Advent to feel like more than a countdown to shopping, and anyone who has five minutes a day, not fifty.
Advent is four Sundays long, and it is easy to miss the whole thing while getting ready for the day at the end of it.
This journal gives the season a shape. Every day has its feast, today’s Gospel with a button to the reading, one small thing to do together, and one line to write. On Sundays you light the wreath and pray a short prayer out loud.
Print it on ordinary paper, or open it on a tablet and tap through. If you start late, just turn to today.

Questions
Before you buy
Still wondering something? Ask me directly — a real person reads every note.
Is this the free Advent Companion?
No. The Advent Companion is a free one-page overview of the four Sundays. The Journal is the day-by-day version: a page for every day from November 29 to Christmas, plus the wreath prayers and countdown cards.
Do I need to print it?
No. It works both ways. Print it on ordinary letter paper, or open it on a tablet, where every date on the calendar and every button taps through.
Is the Scripture printed in it?
No. Each day gives the Gospel reference and a button that opens that day’s reading on the USCCB website.
What if I start late?
Start on today. Nothing is behind, and every page stands on its own.
Can I use it next year?
It is dated for Advent 2026, November 29 to December 25, 2026, so the dates will not line up with another year.
Free first
Not ready to buy? Take something anyway.
Both of these are free, and they stay free. It is the easiest way to find out whether the way I put things together actually helps you.
The Advent Companion
The whole season on one page: four Sundays, one small thing each week, and the four dates inside Advent.
How to Write a Catholic Prayer
A short guide built on the five forms of prayer the Catechism names — blessing, petition, intercession, thanksgiving and praise — for the times you want to pray and don’t know where to start. Yours to keep, print, or hand to someone else.
No credit card. No upsell wall. One click unsubscribes you and we’re still friends.
One page a day, all the way to Christmas.
