8 Simple Steps for Your Most Meaningful Christmas
Historically, Advent was also a season of fasting, yet in our culture of excess it has become a time of indulgence, feasting, buying. With all the doing and going and spending, why not add something for your heart?
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!
