Resources for Christmas:
This book is packed with ideas of keeping Christ as the
center of Christmas. My boys enjoy the
idea of each morning counting down to Christmas by getting a
"Kiss". I wrap up 25 Hershey Kisses in a strip of cellophane and
tie a ribbon between each one. They untie a ribbon each morning and get their
"kiss" and then find me for a real kiss.

| Advent Jesse Tree |
Free Advent Jesse Tree Book- We started
using this a few years ago to prepare our hearts for Christmas. Use a branch,
small tree, or anything you can hang paper or real ornaments on. You will love
this guide with printable ornaments from A Holy Experience. It is a wonderful
addition to Christmas.
Free Advent Jesse Tree Book for
younger children. I just found this
today and I love it. It is a great
resource!
Advent Wreath- We enjoy the tradition of the weekly devotional
and gathering on Sunday evenings to light the candles. You can make your own or
purchase an advent wreath. I just found the Cradle
to the Cross at A Holy Experience. This one is used from Advent to
Easter. Ann's son makes them and 100% of the cost is donated to
Compassion. Our favorite book to use for devotionals is A Family Advent: Keeping the Savior in the Season.
Advent Stories-. We started this series last
year and love it! These three Advent
devotionals will take you and your family from Advent to Christmas with day-by-day
readings and advice for making Christmas a meaningful season of worship. Read
one book each Advent. Includes Jotham's Journey, Bartholomew's
Passage, and Tabitha's Travels. (Recommended for older children).
We enjoy reading through The Legends of...
...The Candy Cane
...The Christmas Stocking
...The Christmas Tree
...St. Nicholas: A Story of Giving

I wrap 25 Christmas books and the boys unwrap one each day. They never tire of the same books year after year and we add more to our collection.
I hope these resources
will help you as you offer Birthday Gifts of Jesus this year!
What resources do you use to keep Christ in Christmas?
