Скачать или смотреть 10 Advent Tips to Prepare Your Family for Christmas

When does Christmas actually start? If you follow the Catholic Church’s liturgical calendar, Christmas begins on December 25th, not right after Thanksgiving. That means the weeks leading up to Christmas—Advent—are a time of preparation, reflection, and prayer.

In this video, we share 10 Catholic Advent traditions your family can practice to prepare your hearts for the coming of Jesus. These ideas help transform December from a hectic, commercialized rush into a season of intentional waiting and spiritual growth.

We cover:
✅ Delaying decorations and celebrating after Christmas begins
✅ Jesse Tree activities for kids
✅ Advent calendars that focus on Christ
✅ Advent wreath prayers and candle lighting
✅ Feast days like St. Nicholas, St. Lucy, and Our Lady of Guadalupe
✅ The St. Andrew Novena
✅ Advent devotionals and Morning Time resources
✅ The importance of repentance and reconciliation before Christmas

Whether you're a large Catholic family, new to the faith, or simply wanting a more meaningful December, these Advent practices will help you welcome Jesus with peace and joy on Christmas morning.
