The Christmas season brings so many distractions. I think I'd be safe to assume that we've all had Decembers where we end the month exhausted, overwhelmed, and so happy that all the hype is over. I know I've had years like that! The older my kids get, the more intentional I have to be to guard our hearts and homes from being consumed with things that are secondary. I love every tradition, celebration, party, and so on, but where does the emphasis of Christmas really lie?

In this episode, I share ways that God has helped me, as the homemaker, keep Christ the center of our home during Christmas. Most of what we do flows out of what we do throughout the rest of the year. If Christ hasn't been the focal point of our home throughout the year, it will be hard to flip a switch and make Him preeminent in December. 

These are some specific ways we seek to keep Christ in His proper place in our home during Christmas, but really all throughout the year:

-Playing Christ-honoring music

-Memorizing Scripture as a family

-Studying the Bible together 

-Looking for Gospel opportunities

How do you keep Christ the center of your Christmas?
