ADVENTures: Preparing for Christmas

What is Advent and how can you use the season of Advent to focus on the true meaning of Christmas?  In this week's episode, Carrie shares some simple ways to keep Jesus at the center of your Christmas preparations and to perhaps start the tradition of celebrating Advent.  Did you know that the season of Advent is two-fold?  It celebrates the first coming of Jesus, his birth, and Jesus' incarnation.  But most importantly, Advent looks forward to Jesus' second coming!  The whole idea of celebrating the Advent season is to turn your family’s focus from the hustle and bustle of the holidays to Jesus’ first miraculous coming AND to his glorious and future second coming.  Join Carrie for this little coffee break as she shares a few simple ways you can make your Christmas preparations an Advent Adventure.  Subscribe to  Coffee With Carrie and receive as a thank you a weekly Advent Devotional Carrie uses every year.  For links, books, and activities mentioned in this week's podcast, go to Coffee With Carrie Website.  To purchase Carrie's new homeschooling book, Just Breathe (and Take a Sip of Coffee):  Homeschool in Step with God), visit Amazon.com.For more articles on how to homeschool visit Coffeewithcarrie.org or for daily devotions and encouragement, go to IG @coffeewithcarrieconsultant.   To hear more  podcasts that are filled with homeschooling help and encouragement, subscribe to Coffee With Carrie Podcast.  New episodes are dropped every Thursday.If you enjoy CWC Podcasts, we would love for you to leave a review and a 5-Star Rating.  Click HERE; it is easy and free!#coffeewithcarriepodcast#justbreathesipcoffee#homeschoolencouragementSupport the showPurchase A Home Education Handbook: 9 Questions to Ask for Simple & Balanced Home-Based LearningPurchase Homeschool High School:  A Handbook for Christian EducationPurchase Just Breathe (and Take a Sip of Coffee):  Homeschool Simply & Enjoyably.  Schedule a Coffee Date (One-on-One Personalized Coaching Session:  Coffee With Carrie Subscribe to Coffee With Carrie email newsletter for FREE Morning Time Plans and monthly tips  https://coffeewithcarrie.org Follow on Instagram @coffeewithcarrieconsultant.
