8 Simple Steps for Your Most Meaningful Christmas
I’m going to share with you the plan I use to simplify and “meaningfulify” (that’s a real word, as of right now) your holiday. Our holidays don’t need to be complicated, full of stress, or non-stop activity to be meaningful. They simply need to be intentional. The free PDF you’ll find at the end of this post will help you work through these steps. So let’s get planning!
Inspiration for Your Jesse Tree Advent Calendar Display
We structured our book, The Joy of Advent, around the Jesse Tree. With 25 symbols, and another 12 for the Twelve Days of Christmas, how do you display them beautifully, memorably, and meaningfully? Read on for inspiration and for a printable list of all the Jesse Tree figures!
Carols by Candlelight Sing-along With Printable Songbook
Bring the family together for an event of celebration and song by hosting a Carols by Candlelight event. Invite friends and extended family, or round up the household. Print the Carols by Candlelight Booklet (easy booklet printing instructions in the file), bind with staples or ribbon, or write down the titles of your favorite carols.

Welcome to the Joy of Advent!
We want you to have the most meaninful Advent ever
With that goal in mind, we developed daily readings that run from December 1st to the feast of the Epiphany on January 6th. We’ve been using these readings and carefully selected songs for years in our own home, and now we offer them to you as a daily email subscription. They will not appear on this site, but are offered exclusively to those who want to share in this Advent Journey with us. In the true spirit of Christmas, the Joy of Advent subscription is completely free.
