31 Days to a Less-Stress Holiday Season! girlwithblog.com

I have this thing for Christmas (you can read more about why here). And even though she created Christmas miracles for us, I never saw my mom stress over it all. She was a single mom on a teacher’s salary with three kids enamored with Christmas. Pinterest didn’t exist, but pressure is timeless – yet I never saw her buckle under its force.

I want that.

Now that I’m a mama, my ‘thing’ for the magic and beauty of the season is only intensified as I create memories for my kids and family. But I want to do it all in love, not in stress-induced pressure. I need moments of Christmas too, which is why I wrote this book – a daily Advent devotional for me and for you. I wanted to be rooted in scripture, in remembering who He is – Emmanuel, God with us. I don’t want to let stress consume my heart and my December.

I want to be fixed on the coming Christ child as we prepare to celebrate His birthday, and takes a lot to stay focused.
