Christian Christmas Countdown

With the arrival of December, also comes the Christmas countdown of the 25 days of Christmas! Although many start their planning before then, December 1st seems like it officially gives the okay to begin the celebrations!

No other season quite brings the excitement and anticipation like Christmas does. This is all the more reason for believers in Christ to use these 25 days of Christmas to place our focus on Him!

There are so many ways to do this, but some do take a little preparation!

Christmas object lessons and Christian Christmas Activities can be woven into the 25 days leading up to Christmas to add Christ-focused meaning. Keeping Christ as the center of our Christmas celebration is also vital as we pass along our faith through Christmas traditions.

Christmas Countdown Bible Study Daily Devotions:

This can be used as a photo challenge for social media or a guide to reading your Bible during the Christmas season.  Each object will act as a reminder when you see them to keep Christ first during this special season and beyond.  

We've also created short Christian Christmas devotions for individual use or with your family or group.  Interactive ideas are included to get the kids involved!

Sample of Christmas Devotions - A Road

One of my favorite roads to walk down is way out in the country where my grandparents lived.  It is a quiet gravel road with the trees almost touching above and having sprinkled their leaves across its dirt path. 

There are all types of roads which can take us to many different destinations.  Some are paved and crowded with cars speeding by.  Others are quiet and peaceful, but can become muddy when it rains. Roads are a lot like life.

Think about all the roads you will go down today; each one leads to a different destination.   Sometimes we may get wrong directions and go down a wrong road never reaching the destination we desire.  

In the Old Testament God spoke through the law and the prophets; they pointed to the coming of the Messiah, a Savior.  They gave directions.  God knew we would still make wrong turns though; that’s why from the beginning of time Jesus planned to come to earth in human flesh to not only show us the way, but to be the Way.  Continue...

* Each devotion includes family or group extended activities for the Christmas season.

15076EB: Christmas Countdown: Creating 25 Days of New Advent Traditions for Families - eBook Christmas Countdown: Creating 25 Days of New Advent Traditions for Families - eBook
By Margie J. Harding / Paraclete Press

Advent is the season of preparation for our King, who came as a child over 2,000 years ago. The shepherds and wise men followed a star and their hearts to visit this new baby and present gifts that demonstrated their love. In a world and time that easily robs us of this profound joy of renewal at every turn, Countdown to Christmas provides devotional times with Scripture readings, and music and food with other fun family activities. The book is tailored to help families prepare their hearts and homes for Christ's coming. Paperback.
