How to Design a Christmas That ACTUALLY Centers on Jesus (12 Days Framework)

Your family's Christmas traditions might be coasting on autopilot - some things you do because you've always done them, some events that just happen to you instead of being chosen intentionally. What if this year you flipped the script and designed a December that actually centers on Jesus while creating memories your kids will carry into their own marriages? Jeremy and April Prior break down their 12 Days of Christmas framework, from scripture-paired events to a family arts show that turns your living room into a gallery. This isn't about adding more chaos to an already packed season...it's about saying yes to the right things and building annual traditions that your multi-generational family team will actually look forward to.
