Simple Christmas: Daily Advent Devotional

by Ray Pritchard

The very idea of Simple Christmas seems impossible. If anything, life kicks into a higher gear during December. There’s not much to be done about the frenetic pace of modern life. But we all have choices we can make. We can give in to the frenzy and end up frazzled, or we can find a better way and end up in a better place. That’s what this Advent devotional is all about. We can’t change the world, but we can change how we approach Christmas. Join us as we refocus our lives and celebrate the birth of our Savior.

Great preparation for Christmas

I used this devotional each day of Advent and found the readings to be very beneficial in helping me to focus on Jesus and not the hustle and bustle throughout the Christmas season. I also liked having a song to listen to each day.
