What are you doing to get ready for Christmas?
I tremble to answer this myself, because Advent looms so large this year.
I'm teaching a five-week Sunday school class on Advent this year. My daughter, for the first time, is going to be a part of our church's Lessons & Carols. And then there's Thanksgiving tomorrow, for which I'm cooking A LOT.
The truth is that Christmas seems very far away.
But it's not. And, honestly, because Advent feels so prominent this year, I feel especially motivated to plan for Christmas now, so that once that blessed season comes, I can relax.
I want all my presents bought and wrapped and ready.
I want to be able to stop once the feast is here.
So I'm going over my lists, I'm ordering presents now, and I'm thanking God for a sister-in-law who's willing to wrap the presents for my out-of-state nephews and niece when I send her toys via Amazon. :)
What about you? Are you thinking of Christmas planning now, before Advent even starts?
Whether you are or aren't, I hope you have a blessed Advent. It's a season I love, and I pray it will be full and profitable for you as well.
Peace of Christ to you,
Jessica Snell
