On Christmas Cheer

December Everything

Ah, Christmas.

The lights. The music. The traditions.

The bustle. The gatherings. The Reason for the season.

The world is an enchanted snow globe for those lucky enough to have a White Christmas. The rest of us will watch the movie and dream of what it would be like to wake up to a dazzling white blanket on December 25.

The cold days, the dark evenings, and the bare trees may tempt us to curl up indoors all month but there are many treasures to be found in nature if we’ll just bundle up and get outdoors. The promise of cocoa upon return can be a great motivator to children and mom, as well.

The Christmas season and can easily become a whirlwind of activity if we aren't intentional about creating an atmosphere of peace, hope, love, and joy. The practice of Advent is a wonderful buffer against the “noise, noise, noise” that the season can bring.

Light candles. Sing songs. Meditate on the coming of the King.

Remember, a handful of traditions make more of an impact than a long list to get through and it’s okay to let go of the traditions that you and your family have outgrown.

Starting this month, I’ll be gifting my paid subscribers with a bundle of rhythms to help celebrate the season from month to month. They’re called “Everything” guides. If you’ve been around for a while, these are the classic everything guides reimagined and much improved ;).

In the spirit of Christmas, I’ll be giving access to everyone this month only. I hope this resource blesses you and — if you’re not already — that you’ll consider coming along next month as a paid subscriber.

I hope you find some great ideas to help you savor December and celebrate this time of year in a way that is simple and special at the same time.

Merry Christmas to you and yours,
