Christmas. We love it. We love the smell of evergreens and cloves. We love the flavor of Christmas tea and cookies. We love the sound of Christmas carols and bells. We love being with family. Most of all, we love how everything points to the gospel, if you let it.
That's the hard part, though, isn't it? The hurry, the stress, the bustle, it all conspires together to tempt us to settle for the form and not the substance. It's easy to run around doing Christmas-y things and somehow never take the time to really talk to our kids, I mean really talk to them, about what all this means.
That's why we wrote a new book, Christ-Centered Advent: Family Devotions based on Christmas Carols, and it will make it easy for you to teach your kids the Christ-centered carols and what they mean. A resource that will help you glorify God in your family at Christmas.
Every verse is illustrated with fine art, Charlotte Mason-style, so you can include picture study, if you wish.
