It should come as no surprise that the month of December can be crazy busy! It is easy to get swept up in parties, gifts, concerts, to-do lists, baking, and more. Slow down and remember you don’t have to do it all. Choose a few things and do them well!

I created the December Force and Beauty to add some beautiful words and songs to your journey to advent. You can go through it all in one day per week, or spread it out over a few days. It includes 4 elements for each week leading up to Christmas:

  • A Christmas poem
  • An Advent Hymn
  • OT prophecy & NT Christmas story
  • A Christmas carol

We love to add a picture study of beautiful Advent artwork and always listen to Handel’s Messiah. Choose what is best for your family in this season of preparation for our Savior!

Week One

Lo, How a Rose Ever Blooming

Carol of the Bells (obviously at least ONE listen to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra version, right?)

week two

Come, Though Long Expected Jesus

God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen (option 2)

week three

Of the Father’s Love Begotten

Star in the East (my favorite!)
