Sometimes I need a little nudge to get into the Christmas spirit. What better way than through shared Christmas stories that warm the heart? Stories are powerful. They have the strength to inspire and motivate.
For various reasons, I struggle at times to embrace the holiday season. One thing that helps me is to discover how others make their Christmas season meaningful. So I thought, what if you’re having trouble this year? Maybe you just aren’t feeling the Christmas “feels.” Maybe a true Christmas story is just what you need.
I’ll be honest. I’m somewhere in between this year. I’m cherishing some Christmas coziness, but also feeling a little sad about some traditions that are long in the past. Because not only do the calendar seasons and holiday seasons change, but seasons of our lives evolve as well. Christmas today looks quite different for my family than Christmases past.
Rather than bemoan traditions that don’t fit our family anymore, however, I’m hoping to keep an open mind and try new things. So, please – share your Christmas stories and traditions with me in the comments below. I’d love to hear them!
In the meantime, here are three of my personal Christmas stories. I’ve shared them with you here on my blog before, but maybe they will bring some Christmas joy to you and yours once again.
As always, thank you for spending your time with me and Jesus.
With love,
