The Christmas season is such a sweet time for families - but it’s also a busy one!
It can be a challenge to keep the focus on Christ in December. We've rounded up some practical recommendations below that can help your family spend a little time together daily celebrating our wonderful Saviour.
Advent calendars with little treats inside aren't very hard to find - but Bible-centred alternatives can be.
Skip the sugar rush and engage your family in the truth with one of our Advent calendars that comes with an Advent devotional. For example, our new God's Big Promises Advent Calendar with Family Devotional includes a beautiful 25-door Advent calendar and a booklet of 25 short family devotions to read together.

If you've got multiple kids of different ages, you know it can be challenging to keep everyone engaged in one activity together. Multi-age family devotionals, like The God of Amazing Gifts, include questions for different age groups to help everyone get into the Bible together. Some, like The Adventure of Christmas, are designed to take just 10 minutes and require no prep.

There will probably be times throughout December when kids need to keep occupied independently. Colouring sheets, a sticker book, or a seek-and-find book are great options. Several of our interactive resources are based on the Christmas story, making it easy for your kids to engage with the materials while still considering the true meaning of Christmas.

Bethany McIlrath loves to get lost in a book and to help others discover their next read in her marketing role at The Good Book Company. When she's not reading stories, she's usually writing them or dreaming about them as she comes up with real-life creative adventures for friends, her husband, and a doorbell-like dog named Indy. Serving in children's ministry is also one of her greatest joys.
