Introduction

Counting down the days for something special can be difficult, but most of us would agree there are things well worth waiting for. In some respects, the waiting often prepares us for the event to come. Whether it’s the birth of a child or a move to a new city, the days and weeks beforehand allow us to absorb the reality of a significant change in our lives. Our days are often occupied with joyful anticipation, and even when we’re not physically involved in preparing for the big day, our minds and hearts are filled with eager anticipation.

So, slow down, take a deep breath, and enjoy these stories and prayers about Christmas with your heart and mind open to the miraculous day when God became man. Welcome the Lord into your home to help you prepare for a birthday party fit for a King.
