Christ-Centered Christmas Countdown
The Christmas season is a time for peace and joy to fill our homes, but often the chaos and stress of the holidays overwhelm and leave us unable to focus on what truly matters. Unfortunately, it is so easy to get caught up in the commercialism that is all around us. As parents, we want our children to understand and love celebrating the birth of our Savior. We want to make our homes a place where our families can feel the joy of Christmas. That’s why we put together this Christ-Centered Christmas Countdown full of simple and creative ways to help your family focus on Christ this Christmas season.
This Christmas season, make Christ the center of all your Christmas celebrations. We’ve thought of fun and unique ways to keep Christ at the forefront, even as you enjoy some of your favorite classic Christmas activities. We are so excited to share this meaningful Christmas countdown that is not only easy to put together but also completely customizable for you and your family’s schedule! Our amazing graphic designer from Messes to Memories created these beautiful printables, and you are about to be blown away! Save these cute printables on Pinterest!

I LOVE this so much!! Thank you for making these cute printables. We have loved using this year to bring the real spirit of Christmas into our home. Is it possible for you to make the daily cards editable? I would love to tie in some of our family traditions into these activities. (For instance, on the “stocking” day I would love to have it say that we fill the socks with small items for our missionaries). Not sure if that’s possible, but it would be helpful for next year.
Angie, that is a great idea (and I love the idea of sending them to missionaries too)! We can definitely include some blank cards! XO
One of my favorite Christmas ideas I have seen in a long time! Love the focus on Christ!
Thanks Gabby! Hope you enjoy doing it with your family!
