How do you prepare your heart for Christmas? Do you read a specific devotion related to Advent each year? Do you start playing the Christmas music on December 1 and not change off of that station? Do you pray for Jesus to be present in your everyday tasks?
Personally, I do a little bit of all of these and then some. I love Christmas time. I love the intentionality of asking Jesus into my heart, remembering His birth, and rejoicing and celebrating all of that. But this morning, that got me thinking, yes Christmas is an extraordinary time, but why do I not do these things year-round? I can year-round be in a Jesus-centered devotion, listen to Christian music, and pray for Jesus’ presence in my life!
So, I want to know, how do you prepare for Christmas? And how can you carry some of that through the rest of the year?
