25 Days of Devotions and Family Traditions to Prepare Your Heart and Home for the Saviour’s Birth
Christmas is more than decorations, gifts, gatherings, and familiar traditions. It is an invitation to slow down, draw closer to God, and make room in our hearts and homes for Jesus.
In Making Room for Christmas, Scarlet Hartwell invites you and your family on a meaningful 25-day journey toward the celebration of Christ’s birth. Each day offers a thoughtful devotional designed to help you pause amid the busyness of the season, reflect on God’s Word, and rediscover the wonder and joy of Christmas.
Along the way, you’ll find simple family traditions and meaningful activities that can turn ordinary December moments into opportunities for connection, gratitude, worship, and faith.
Inside, you’ll discover encouragement to:
Prepare your heart spiritually for Christmas
Create meaningful Christ-centered family traditions
Spend intentional time together as a family
Reflect on the biblical story of Jesus’ birth
Cultivate gratitude, generosity, peace, and joy
Slow down and focus on what truly matters
Create lasting memories centered on faith and family
Whether you read it quietly with your morning coffee, share the devotions around the dinner table, or make them part of your family’s Christmas routine, Making Room for Christmas will help you move beyond simply preparing for Christmas—and begin preparing your heart for Christ.
This Christmas, make room for what matters most.
Make room for faith.
Make room for family.
Make room for wonder.
Make room for Jesus.
