Christmas may be over, but the birth of our Savior is something we can celebrate any day, and at any time! Christmas is an important time to create an environment of less stress and instead make room for more Jesus. If would like to share the series we did this month, here are links to each post from Simplifying Christmas:

In the introduction, I talk about the desire to make God’s priorities ours, and share the passage about Mary and Martha from the Book of Luke, reminding us to focus on what matters most: Jesus.
If you’re looking for an Advent reading plan, this post has several to choose from, including two original plans from us at Do Not Depart. Why do Advent readings? It’s a great way to get more time in with Jesus and focus on His birth and what that means to us as Christians.
Are you Seeking Heavenly Peace? “When Christ is at the center of the celebration, the noise can’t help but fall away.”
Are you Tired of Looking for the Perfect Gift? This post has three great reminders: close your computer (don’t allow Christmas joy to be stolen by Christmas envy), prioritize people, and put aside perfect.
Seek, Find, and Remind: Let Christmas trees and candy canes and other Christmas symbols serve as reminders of God’s love. This post has a great downloadable infographic that will help you look for Christ in Christmas!
Why should you sing at Christmas? Singing is a great way to glorify God, encourage one another, and remind ourselves of theological truths. This post has a beautiful Christmas Carol Lyric Sheet just for you!
We hope you had a wonderful and blessed Christmas, focusing on Jesus– the real reason for the season!
Have a happy and blessed New Year!
