What is Christmas really about—and how do we help our families remember when the noise of the season is so loud?

In this episode of Orderly, Becky returns after a season away to reflect on how motherhood has reshaped her experience of Christmas. With a four-year-old who is fully captivated by Santa and the sparkle of the season, Becky found herself asking a deeper question: How do we keep Jesus at the center—not just in what we say, but in how we live?

That question led her into a rich exploration of remembrance—through Scripture, church history, and meaningful traditions like the Christmas tree, Advent, the Advent wreath, and even Hanukkah. Together, these practices tell a powerful story of light, sacrifice, miracles, and God’s faithfulness across generations.

Becky weaves biblical reflections with personal stories, examining why God calls His people to remember again and again—and how forgetting often leads us astray. From Jesus’ frustration with the disciples’ short memories to the call to live as bearers of light in a dark world, this episode invites listeners to slow down and reclaim the deeper meaning of the season.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by consumerism, longing for a more intentional Christmas, or simply craving a moment of quiet reflection, this episode offers encouragement, practical ideas, and a hopeful reminder: remembrance shapes faith—and light was never meant to stay hidden.
