Before bed tonight reflect with these questions:
I wonder how Mary and Joseph must have felt when they were told there was no room in the inn?
I wonder what it was like for Mary to hold the Son of God in her arms?
I wonder how we can ponder this story in our hearts?

After another long and difficult year, I can't think of a more joyous Advent activity than caroling. If you are uncomfortable with caroling, or your kids are too young for it, have a family sing-a-long instead featuring your favorite Christmas carols

Today we light our fourth candle for Love.

God of love, you sent your Son, Jesus, to shine bright like the sun, lighting the way for all who walk in darkness. May the light of Christ’s hope, peace, joy and love shine bright in us as we approach his coming, so that we may be ready to welcome him on Christmas day. Amen.

Open your bibles today as a family and use these scripture passages to help guide your conversation:
2 Sam 7:1-11, 16; Psalm 89:1-4, 19-26; Romans 16:25-27; Luke 1:26-38

Where is your favorite place to look at Christmas lights?
We love to grab donuts from Donut Drive-In which is just a couple blocks from Candy Cane Lane where we enjoy the neighborhood lights each year!
Where is your go-to Christmas light display?

Enjoy Mexican hot chocolate while you learn about Las Posadas tonight! A commemoration of Mary and Joseph's struggle to find lodging, but also a celebration of the holy hospitality they received.

The third Sunday of Advent is known as Gaudete Sunday--a word which means "rejoice" in Latin. This Sunday marks a turn from the solemn preparation and penitence of Advent toward joy as we anticipate the coming King. This lighter mood during this week of Advent is marked visibly by the lighter rose candle. What greater or more practical way to bring joy than with a quick dance party around the Christmas tree?
