Make Christmas Matter 2014

Make Christmas Matter

Santa. Rudolph. Frosty. The elves. There’s no shortage of colorful characters to capture a child’s heart this time of year. But what about the One who started this whole Christmas business in the first place?

Where does he fit in?

If Jesus is just another character in our holiday festivities, it’s time to examine our own hearts as parents. In my house, I want to make Christmas matter. I want it to both signify and celebrate the foundations of my faith.

Too many people today argue that Christmas magic is created in the make-believe. I say it’s found in the real deal. Highlighting Jesus as the focal point of Christmas can be a whole lot more fun than Santa and his elves. Don’t believe me? Then you’ve come to the right place.

Over the next several weeks, we’re going to discover some simple and meaningful ways to plant Jesus into his rightful position as the center of our Christmas fun. Special “Make Christmas Matter” posts will be featured here every Wednesday from November 26 to December 24 (in addition to your usual Monday mom encouragement). Plus watch for a bonus introductory message on Tuesday, Nov. 25.

If you’re not already a subscriber, sign up today so you don’t miss a thing. I’ll send you a free bonus for subscribing—a handy printable of Christmas conversation starters for families. You can also check back to this page weekly for links to posts and resources.

Please spread the word to friends and family! Together we can reclaim Christmas for Christ—in our homes, our families, and our hearts.

Are you ready? Let’s Make Christmas Matter. Blessings from my household to yours!

–Becky

Yes, I want in!

Meet Becky.

If you love your kids but you sometimes forget to feed them lunch, if you're crazy about your husband but some days you want to set his hunting gear on fire, and if you adore Jesus with your whole heart yet you mess up time and time again, then you and I are friends already.

We need each other. I'm so glad you're here.
