Christmas time is one of my favorite times of year. However, it is so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle and forget the true meaning of why we even have Christmas, even while chanting Jesus is the reason for the season. Today I want to share 5 simple ways to keep Christ at the forefront of your Christmas.

Do an Advent study. Advent started on November 30th, the Sunday following Thanksgiving, but honestly, it is never too late to join in. I'm currently doing Awakening Wonder from The Daily Grace Co and love it. They have this study in a digital download for immediate access, just click HERE. Another thing you can do is read through the book of Luke. Luke has 24 chapters so often people will read a chapter a day from December 1st until Christmas Eve, since we are already 10 days in, you could read 2 chapters a day.
Post Scripture in your home. I am really big on having Scripture in my home. Each room in our house has Scripture posted somewhere. At Christmas we add a wooden piece that says A Savior is Born. It is the focal point in our living room which is a great reminder every time we look at it.
Set up a Nativity. My grandkids love to look at our Nativities and I love the reminder of Jesus coming to this world for us. Place your Nativity somewhere that you and your family are going to see if often and when you look at it, pause and think of Jesus.
Look for ways to serve. Look for ways that you can use your time and give of yourself to serve others. It could be babysitting for a single parent so they have time to Christmas shop, maybe purchasing gifts for a family who can't afford gifts this year, buying groceries for a family in need, or finding someone who doesn't have family nearby and inviting the, over for dinner.
Attend a Christmas Eve service. Jesus is the entire reason we have Christmas to celebrate. He is the reason we are alive this very moment. It's all about Him! If your church offers a Christmas Eve service, attend. If your church doesn't have a service, find a nearby service to attend. There is something very special about spending Christmas Eve with the body of Christ as we worship the birth of our Savior.
