The Season of Advent is a time of preparation. What are we preparing for? Lavish dinners, the exchange of gifts, for some a yearly visit to Church? These are all good things, but they are so brief, and even fleeting.
If we had a full Advent of preparation, and then Christmas was over at 11:59 pm on December 25th we would have slept on something truly spectacular. A month of preparation for a day of celebration seems a little lopsided, doesn’t it?
The season of Christmas is 12 Days! If you’ve joined us for our Intergenerational Cookie Swap Event, you were introduced to a new family tradition. If you weren’t there, here’s the invitation for the 12 Days of Christmas. Follow along with the 12 day calendar presented here. Loosely inspired by A Christmas Carol, your family will be guided through 3 sets of 4 activities that focus on Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Future. These easy attainable activities will keep the season alive in your hearts and homes!
This week, I am praying that you have a fruitful rest of your Advent Season, and a truly joyful Christmas to Come. Prepare the way of the Lord, as we joyfully await His Birth, and for Him to come again.
God Bless and have a fruitful Advent.
