What is your favorite thing about Christmas?
I have lots of favorites when it comes to Christmas. I love that this time of year helps me (and my family) focus more intentionally on Jesus. I love that as a family we intentionally slow down. We make time to do some special things together like Christmas-themed devotions, fun activities, and service projects.
And one more thing I love about the season…giving! Whether it’s giving my time in a service project, buying gifts for friends and family, or sending some extra support to missionaries, it just makes me happy to give. It really is true, giving is better than receiving!
That’s where this giveaway comes in. It’s time for the annual “Favorite Christmas Things Giveaway!”
