As parents, Advent affords us an incredible chance to talk to our children about the good news of Jesus Christ every year. However, I will honestly tell you that more often than not in my home, we let the busyness of the season get the best of us and we don’t approach the topic with our children as we should.
We decorate the Christmas tree without mentioning why we celebrate Christmas, we help our children pick out presents for each other without talking about the greatest gift of all, and we sing Christmas carols without stopping to discuss the lyrics.
