How to "slow down" Christmas
This year, I’ve been sending my subscribers a direct daily email to encourage them in to “slow down Christmas.” It’s an intentional embrace of the wonder and delight of the season. Each email links a Christmas post from the past that is unashamedly faith-oriented.

I’d love to hear from you either in comments or a message! Which post has helped you “slow down Christmas?” What are some of your practices to help you enjoy the Christmas season? How has your faith been challenged or nurtured at Christmas?
