Guide to Advent with Littles
There’s more to Advent than counting down to Christmas
The Christmas season can be a big rush.
There’s school holidays, year-end gatherings, gifts to buy and places to visit. It's easy to become so immersed in the festivities that we forget to make room to anticipate and reflect on the significance of Christ's coming.
But this year, you want to lean into the deeper meaning of Christmas.
You've heard of Advent.
You know it's the season leading up to Christmas, much like Lent leads up to Easter.
Perhaps you've seen families observe it through special traditions, and wondered how you might make it part of your own family's Christmas.
But what exactly is Advent? Why do Christians observe it, and where do you begin?
I’d love to help you create a richer way of experiencing Christmas for you and your family.
At The Hearthmakers, I believe one of the most meaningful ways we can disciple our children is by growing as disciples ourselves.
SO THIS GUIDE BEGINS WITH YOU.
And as you grow in your understanding of what we're celebrating, you'll find ways to bring your little ones into the story too. Not just through Christmas activities, but through conversations, prayer and simple family traditions rooted in God's Word.
