To everyone who has celebrated Advent with us, THANK YOU! Today we leave the season of Advent, the joyful reflection of an expectant mother awaiting a new child. And we begin the season of Christmastide, celebrating Jesus’s birth!

We likely know the song, The Twelve Days of Christmas, and we’ve seen countless 12 Days of Christmas products, memes, posts. But many, from marketers to mainstream media, start the countdown before Christmas.

The 12 Days of Christmas aren’t a countdown to Christmas Day, they’re a count up of celebration! You can help us celebrate!

Will You Share Christmastide With Your Friends and Family?

Joy of Advent will continue celebrating Christ’s birth through the 12 Days of Christmas, with a final email on January 6, Epiphany.

Please forward this email or the link to our website Joy of Advent and invite friends and family to join you (and us) in a meaningful celebration of the Twelve Days of Christmas!

We have prepared some of our favorite Christmas songs, gorgeous artwork, and thoughtful reflections as we dive deep into the early days of Jesus’s life on earth.

While the world moves on from Christmas Day, sweeping up tinsel and packing away ornaments, we will continue our celebration … because our Emmanuel, God With Us, has come, and the party is only getting started!
