Discovering Christmas–A 25-Day Advent Devotional with Activities for Kids
I am excited to tell our followers about a wonderful new book for families by my friend and fellow children’s author, Amanda Jass. Every year at Christmas families look for new and fun ways to celebrate the advent season as they anticipate the coming of Christmas, and this book is one that belongs in every home!
I asked Amanda to share her ideas and purpose for the book. This is what she said:
The year we had three kids ages four and under, I found myself extremely overwhelmed as the holidays approached. I desperately needed some kind of helpful rhythm because life felt chaotic. So, I decided to be intentional throughout the Advent season and do one simple activity with my kids each day. The main criteria for the activity is that it would bring us closer to each other as well as remind us about the reason for the Christmas season—the birth of our Savior! Well, this simple rhythm turned out to be a total game changer.
I know how easy it is to get caught up in the craziness of the holidays, almost forgetting why we celebrate Christmas in the first place. This devotional was written to share what has helped my own family connect with each other and keep the focus on Jesus throughout Advent. My goal is not to get families to abandon beloved Christmas traditions, but to bring Christ to the center of all they do. And my prayer is that this little book will help more kids and families experience the hope, joy, peace, and love of Jesus this Christmas and beyond.
Each day includes a devotion, scripture, conversation prompts, a guided prayer, and a simple, mess-free activity (which moms will love!) Discovering Christmas is perfect for:
- keeping little minds busy during Christmas break and quiet time
- teaching preschoolers about Jesus’ birth
- helping kids create memories and establish a family holiday tradition
- families looking to celebrate the Advent season together
Celebrate this Advent season with Discovering Christmas: A 25-Day Advent Devotional with Activities for Kids!
