How to Keep Christ in Christmas

Participate in Advent

Advent, which falls four weeks before Christmas is recognized by many Christians as the period of preparation for the celebration of the birth of Jesus. The term comes from the Latin translation of “coming” and many prophecies in the Old Testament pointed to this promise. Light an Advent wreath each day leading up to Christmas and find a daily Advent devotional that you can reflect on each day. This is also a great time for introspection. Remind yourself through daily devotion and prayer that in Him, there is no darkness all. Ask yourself where you are in your journey with Christ. If you’re not where you want to be, make it a point to change as the year transitions.
