The Weekly Dwell: An Intentional Christmas with Our Kids

from Doing Life Differently

Welcome to episode one of my four-part Advent Weekly Dwell series on having an intentional Christmas. Today I’m focusing on the kids, and the tension I feel every year between chasing the world’s version of “magic” and building a Christmas that actually has depth.I’m reminding myself that a truly magical Christmas can’t come at the cost of my peace. If I’m stressed and running on fumes, that’s not the kind of season I want them to remember. I’m doing a heart check first, then choosing to define Christmas through both joy and meaning.USE CODE KATELYN15 TO SAVE 15% ON YOUR ADVENT BLOCKSFor our family, the anchor tradition is the King Is Coming Advent Blocks.
