What? It's only August and you're talking about Advent already?
You betcha!
The reason? I want you to have plenty of time to order these wonderful Advent books that our family has enjoyed for the past nine years.
Jotham's Journey
Even though our older children have heard these stories numerous times, they still look forward to hearing them again every year. And for our younger ones, it's a brand new story as they grow each year and begin to understand the beauty of Advent. It's become a wonderful tradition in our family....one that we hope they'll continue in their own families.
You begin reading the story on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, and read a section each day until you finally arrive at Christmas morning...the reading of Christ's birth.
Our first night of reading, we sit around the table with big mugs of hot chocolate. It is such fun time for our family.
On Christmas morning, we eat breakfast first...must feed the vultures. Then, we do nothing else, not even open presents, until we've read our final Advent story. It really sets the tone for what Christmas means to our family as Christ-followers, and why we celebrate His glorious birth.
If you're not already reading these, I highly recommend them. If you can only order one, begin with Jotham's Journey, and try to collect one a year until you've acquired all three.
Your family will love these, and the time spent reading together is a time to be cherished!
"With these books you will begin a rich tradition of nativity celebration in your household."
