Christmas is often distorted into a materialistic circus the very first day after Thanksgiving. It is almost as if we spend a day remembering to be thankful only to jump headlong into a whole month of seeking more and more. It is so easy to overlook the “Christ” that made “Christmas” even possible. We forget that we give gifts only because we were given the greatest gift from God in the person of Jesus Christ, as He fulfilled the most heroic rescue mission the world has ever known.
The good news is that long ago a tradition was designed to help Christians prepare ourselves for a whole-hearted celebration of the coming of Christ. It is the practice of Advent.
This family guide to Advent includes tri-weekly activities, lesson plans, traditional Christmas carols, classic Christmas stories and recipes to help your family celebrate Christ in Christmas.
